The distributor directs voltage from which winding to the spark plug?

The spark plug receives voltage from the secondary winding of the ignition system. In a typical ignition system, the primary winding generates a low-voltage current that creates a magnetic field when the ignition is on. When the current is interrupted, this magnetic field collapses, inducing a much higher voltage in the secondary winding.

The secondary winding is specifically designed to boost the voltage to a level sufficient to create a spark at the spark plug, enabling the ignition of the air-fuel mixture in the engine's combustion chamber. The distributor plays a vital role in directing this high-voltage output from the secondary winding to the appropriate spark plug at the correct moment in the engine's firing order, ensuring efficient combustion and engine performance.

Other options focus on different elements of the ignition system. The primary winding generates the initial low voltage and is not capable of producing the spark needed for ignition. The magneto secondary winding is a part of the magneto ignition system, which operates independently of an external battery but is functionally similar in its purpose to the secondary winding in a conventional ignition system. The contact breaker is responsible for interrupting the current in the primary circuit, but it does not directly deliver voltage to the spark plug. Therefore, the secondary winding is where the voltage is
