Functions of automotive motors

When the driver turns the ignition key or presses the start button, the starter motor engages the circuit via an electromagnetic switch, causing the gear to mesh with the engine flywheel and driving the crankshaft to rotate at high speed (usually 200-400 rpm). This allows the engine to complete the initial intake, compression, and ignition cycles, ultimately achieving self-sustaining operation.
