A fully charged battery will read 12.6 volts. The engine needs somewhere between 20,000 and 50,000 volts or maybe higher to fire the spark plugs. The ignition system is divided into two sections, the primary circuit and the secondary circuit. The low voltage primary circuit operates at alternator voltage (13.5 to 15.5 volts engine running) and is responsible for generating the signal to fire the spark plug at the exact right time and sending that signal to the ignition coil. The ignition coil is the component that converts the 12 volt signal into the high 20,000+ volt charge. Once the voltage is stepped up, it goes to the secondary circuit which then directs the charge to the correct spark plug at the right time.

∙ 14y agoA plug doesn't have any volts in it until you plug it into a wall outlet. A typical electrical wall outlet in a typical house in the US delivers electricity at @ 110 volts. Different countries in Europe use electricity that's around 200 volts; twice as many.

How many volts are needed to lift an electromagnet need to lift a car?
The amount of voltage needed to lift a car with an electromagnet depends on several factors. The size of the coil, as well as the amperage will need to be factored in to know how much voltage will be used.
HOW MANY VOLTS ARE IN THE BATTERIES WE HAVE USED?
The small batteries (dry cells) used for many electronic devices usually have approximately 1.5 volts. Car batteries (which have several cells working in series) usually have around 12 volts. Other batteries may have other voltages.
How many watts is equal to 4.3 amps at 230 volts?
In normal simple circuits WATTS = VOLTS x AMPS So if you use a 12V car battery 4 amps is 48 Watts American 110V mains 4 amps = 440 Watts English 240V mains 4 amps = 960 Watts
Is 18v or 24v more powerful?
Without knowing the current the power cannot be known. <<>> In the terms of more potential force, 24 volts is on a higher scale than 18 volts. What this allows is for longer distances to be used on the same amperage draw. It is this factor that changed car battery use from 6 volts to 12 volts. On a car 6 volt system fully loaded the car's headlights would hardly illuminate the road.
How many amps does a 2500 watt inverter use?
If we assume that the inverter is used in your car on 12 Volts DC and you are creating 120 VAC; and the 2500 watts refers to the AC side of inverter then for a resistive load Amps = Watts / Volts = 2500/120.
Can 36 volts of car battery power a 1hp electric motor?
Depends on the ratings(volts, amps, etc.) Definitely not an AC motor.
How many volts to run a 48 Volt club car electric motor?
If a 48 Volt club car electric motor requires 48 volts, then it should be given a 48 volt power source, or something close to it. Too many more volts and it may burn out; not enough volts and it may not run or it will try to draw too much power and burn out the power supply.
How many volts does a fuel pump for a 1980 Datsun 280z need to work?
Assuming the car's electrical system is 12 volts, the answer is 12 volts??
Can you use a car battery to start a motor bike?
as long as its 12 volts.!
How many volts are required to run a car?
12 volts
How many volts it takes to run an electric car?
14 volts
What is the largest demand on a car battery?
You mean volts? 12V The largest load is the starter motor
How many volts does a car cigarette lighter put out?
12 volts DC.
How long would it take to charge a car battery with a 6 volt motor?
The car battery has 12 volts; you need MORE than that to charge it. You can't charge it with 6 volts, unless you somehow raise the voltage. In that case, how long it takes to charge the car battery will depend on the capacity of the charging device. Usually a few hours.
Cars use how many volts of electricity?
A car battery has usually 12 volts.
How many volts does it take to light up a car light bule?
6 volts
How many volts in a Polaris Snowmobile Battery?
12 volts just like a car.
