When Sparks Fly The Ete 比 rical 叹办 tem Late one night on our way home from skiing , our car suddenly stopped . Because it was a rela 石 vely new car , lwassu 甲 ri5edthatthcrewa5aProblem . I5oonrcal - ized it was in the electrical system 50 1 checked the wiring , the condenser . and points , then took the rotor out and examined it closely witha 且 ashlight 一 Nothing aPpeared to be 认 lrons . But the car still wouldn ' t start , sowehadittowedtoanearbygarageandl * tchedas the mechanic went over evelything . He seemed a Iittle conrused at first , then nnally Smiled . " That ' 5 it , ' ' he Said , h0lding uP the rotor . ' It ' 5 gota 丘 ne 一 line crack in it 一 you can barely see it . " 1 10oked at it and , Sure enough , he was right · cars no 10nger have r0lors 50 1 don ' t have to wony about this particular problem ever happening again · Nevertheless , there are still things that can 90 wrong with the electriCalsystem . Furthermore , this system has become much more complicated . Unlessyou ' reamas - ter mechanic , the maze ofwires and electronics under the hood of am 团 ern car look almost as complic 刁 ted to you as the inside of a computer . Indeed , many of；
these wires are actually hooked to a computer , Since computers are now an integral part of cars . w 七 won ' t 90 into detail on computers , but 1 will tly to imparta Sense of how the electrica 】 System ofa carworks . Let ' 5 begin with a little bac 随 round 一 Asyou Probably know , the main c0mpDnentofeIectricityi5theelectron , or rather , electrons in motion An eleclrical currentis , in fact , nothing more than a Stream of electrons m0V - ing along a copper wire . w 抑 c0Pper ? To answer this we haVe to 100k at the atom . An atom 15 composed ofa positive nucleus , surrounded by negatively charged electrons in various orbits , or shells . The electrons are held in place because positive cha 唱 es attract nega [ ive char 罗 s , and there are equal numbers of each · what we , re interested in 15 the outernlost shel ! of electrons , known as the valence shell _ In some materials , called conductors , one or two ofthe electrons in thisshellare barely held tD the atom ; in fact , they are able to Wander baCk and forth between neighboring atDmS . In a sense , this ' ' wandering " constituteS a CUrrent , but it 15 random and because ofthis it isn ' t signincant , Ifwe aPPlya pos - itive charge to one end ofthe coppermaterialrhowever , the electrons will be attracted to it 一 TheywilllumPfrom atom to atom in the direction of the positive charge . In reallty what We are d01ng 15 aPpl 势 ng a VOIt 叩已比 tween the ends of the conductor . VOltage isa ' ' preSSure " that 15 put on the electrons to move them in a certain direction . In many ways it 15 likc the Pressurc that 15 aPplicd to watcr to gCt it now - ing 一 Indeed , as we will see , there are many Similarities between 00 侧 ng Water and the flow of elec 川 city , and 1 willd 云 scuss several of them as we 90 through the chaPter . VOltage can be either positive or negative . This 15 referred to as its polarity , and it determines the direc - tion the electrons will flow in the wire . when a voltage , when SPa 而 Fly ' Tlle EleCt 爪 al Sys 加 tl , 63
