How a car works

Fuel

A burnabke substance that is used to run engines by fuel pumps and injectors or on old cars carburetors and no fuel pump most of the time

Distributor

A device that tell each spark plug when to ignite the cilender

indicator

A divorce that is able to flash a light to indicate that your turning

Washer pump

A electric motor that has impellers on it that causes it to paddle the water down a line and make water spit onto your windshield

Electric fan

A electric motor with a blade on it that blows cool are onto the radiator and cool the water witch then cools the engine

starter

A electric motor with a gear that spins the motor until your car is making enough sparks in order to make the engine run on its own

current

A flow of electric charge.

headlamp

A light to see with in the dark

Radio aerial

A series of circuits that use metal to gain signal for a radio then sends it to the radio of the car and then the radio sends it to the speakers and you can rock out to music as loud as you want until your ear drums or speaker or radio blows

Fuse

A wire that if to much power goes through it will go pop cuases a open circut until the owner buys a new fuse and replaces it

Pressure

Amps

Heated rear window

Basically a fuse using a defroster wire that turns hot then the ice or snow will melt or sometimes it will burn away the water if it stays on for to long

Positive

Feeds the electrical system

Fuel tank

Holds fuel

Fit

It means that it will go. In a spot and not have any issues

Fuse box

Just a box with a hole bunch of wires wrapped in plastic that if to much power goes through it it will create a light for a second and get hot then the wire will melt and your electronic won't work until you buy a new fuse to put in the fuse box

Windshield wiper motor

Just a motor with a transmission for reverse and forward on it so it can go back and forth on your windshield

Heater

Most of the time it's a mini radiator that blows the hot air inside the cabin of the car

Polarity

One way flow of electricity

Ignition

Sends a large amount of power to a spark plug to create a spark and make the car go vroom vroom

switch

Sets the polatity of the power

wiring diagram

Shows how the wires are wired (direction of wire)

Energy

the ability to do work

Battery

Used for starting your car or using electronics when your car isn't started

Alternator

Used to run the car and the electronics and maintain the battery at a full charge

Short circuit

When the wire become broken or melted

Ignition switch

Tells the car when to ignite itself and go vroom vroom unless it has a General Motors label on it

Battery voltage

The current amount and if it drops then your electronics may not work

Resistance

The item that resists the flow of electricity and is measured in ohms

Battery

The power source
