DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
TWO MARK QUESTIONS
Sub. Code : AT 2302 Year/ Class : III - Auto

1. Draw the voltage curves of a lead-acid battery? (2)
2. Draw the curves of Internal resistance & Voltage. (2)
3. Write short notes on Battery Efficiency (1)
The efficiency of a battery is generally defined in terms of ampere hours or watt
hours. It may be noted that a battery is far more efficient when discharged at a slow rate
than when it is discharged rapidly.
Battery efficiency = W1/W2 in terms of watt hours (1)
= A1/A2 in terms of ampere hours

10. How are the following defects caused in lead acid batteries
Sulphation: A badly dulphated battery has got injured plat grids and separators becauseof swelling of the plate as the sulphate occupies more space than the active materials. A badly
sulphated battery may be restored to a usable condition, nut, its original life expectancy can
never be restored as it has already lost part of its life due to sulphation
11. What is the function of ignition system? (2)
The main function of the ignition system to ignite the mixture of fuel and air that
is drawn into the cylinder.
12. Define Dwell angle? (2)
The dwell angle is the angle moved by the cam during contact closed period.

when the engine has stopped. The ignition coils are used to wind the core. Now a days
the primary coils are wound over the secondary coil. It gives the stronger magnetic field.
14. What are the functions of Contact breaker? (2)
The contact breaker is a cam actuated switch which triggers the signal when an
high tension impulse is required for the spark plug.
15. What are functions of distributor? (2)

The engine has an ignition timing of 8° before TDC. The spark occur when the
crank shaft is positioned at 8° of rotation before a cylinder TDC point changing the
ignition timing so that the spark plug fires earlier.
20. What is coil ignition? (2)
In the coil ignition system the ignition coil transforms the low tension 12V supply
given by the battery to the high tension with voltage needed to produce a spark at the
spark plug.
The coil has primary and secondary windings forming two complete circuits thatmake up the complete systems.
