    What is a capacitor?

    Stores and releases electrical energy.

    How do capacitors stabilize voltage?

    They quickly store and release energy.

    What is the role of a battery in a vehicle?

    Stores energy to start the engine and supports electrical systems.

    What happens if a battery is not healthy?

    The vehicle may not start or operate properly.

    What is Kirchhoff's Current Law?

    Total current entering a junction equals total current leaving.

    How does resistance affect current flow?

    Higher resistance opposes the flow of electric current.

    What does Ohm's Law state?

    Voltage is directly proportional to current in a conductor.

    What is the function of a switch?

    Controls the flow of electricity in a circuit.

    What distinguishes a diode from other components?

    Allows current to flow in one direction only.

    What is the purpose of fuses in circuits?

    Protect circuits from overload by breaking the connection.

    What is the implication of using LEDs?

    They are energy-efficient and have a long lifespan.

    What is a relay?

    An electromagnetic switch used to control circuits.

    What happens when a relay is activated?

    Pins 87 and 30 connect, allowing current to flow.

    What is the significance of voltage in a circuit?

    It drives the flow of electric current.

    What is the relationship between watts, volts, and amps?

    Watts equal volts multiplied by amps.
