Answers, such as contact breaker breaks the contact, or it is for  the primary circuits were regarded as vague and were not accepted.
              The required  response is contact breaker acts as a mechanically-operated switch which  interrupts the flow of battery current through the primary circuit at regular  and predetermined interval thereby enabling the coil to produce high voltage  current.
                      (b)        The function of the  coil is to increase the battery voltage thereby making it high enough to cause  spark at the spark plugs.  This was not  also properly explained by most of the candidates.
                      (c)        The distributor  directs the high voltage current produced by the induction coil to the spark  plugs in the correct firing order.
                      (d)       The condenser reduces  the arching and burning of the contact breaker points thus prolonging the life  span of the points.
                      (e)        the battery stores  chemical energy and supplies electrical current to all the electrical  components and systems.
                       Most of the candidates who attempted c, d, and e  were not able to explain the above functions of the distributor, condenser and  battery respectively.
