    The document contains information about servicing various components in automobiles including starters, generators, alternators, and batteries. It discusses why the commutator should not be lubricated when servicing the starting motor as this would prevent proper magnetization of the armature. It also notes that a loose generator belt would cause the engine to overheat and not charge the battery. A solenoid is used in starter circuits to switch a large current to the starter motor in response to a small control signal in order to start the engine. Electronic control units and various sensors require regular maintenance. Positive earthing is used for components that could explode or catch fire while negative earthing takes the positive charge to ground to avoid electrical shock. Various

    1. While servicing of starting motor, why should not be lubricated the commutator?

    The brushes and commutator are integral to the normal operation of a D.C. motor. The
    armature and the commutator are both mounted on the motor shaft. On each side of the
    commutator, a carbon brush carries current from the circuit. When the carbon brushes press against
    the commutator, the armature is magnetized and rotates. So if the commutator lubricated during
    the service the armature is not magnetized properly.

    2. What will happen if the generator belt drive is loose in the engine?
    If the belt drive is loose in the engine then it slips and it does not charge the battery. The
    engine is will be overheated.

    3. Why is a solenoid used in the starting circuit of automobiles?


    A starter solenoid is the part of an automobile which switches a large electric current to
    the starter motor, in response to a small control current, and which in turn sets the engine in
    motion. Its function is thus identical to that of a transistor, but using an electromagnetic solenoid
    rather than semiconductor to perform the switching. In many vehicles the solenoid also engages
    the starter pinion with the ring gear of the flywheel of an engine.

    4. List out the various modern electronic controls which require regular maintenance.
    Electronic control unit(ECU)- Modern ECUs sometimes include features such as
    AdaptiveCruise control(ACC), Automatic transmission control, Anti-lock brake control, Anti-
    theft control, Electronic Speed controller, Traction control, Electronic stability program(ESP) and
    various electronic control sensors. etc.

    5. Compare positive and negative earthing of electrical system in vehicles.


    A positive ground is hooked to anything that may explode or catch fire--as a gas tank on
    an automobile--a hot wire connected to the gas tank happens to short out there would be a fire or
    explosion ---negative grounds are hooked to appliances and electrical products in order to take the
    positive charge to the ground so as not to endanger any one with electrical shock.
    Positive earth gives a better spark and less corrosion when insulators leak current.
    Negative earth interference is easier to suppress and electronic components are less likely
    damaged.
    6a.List the various problems and remedies that have to be carried out for a D.C.generator and
    Alternator.
    6b.Explain different types of tests and preventive maintenance of batteries.
