what voltage comes out of a car cigarette lighter
Cigarette lighter receptacle Automobiles may provide several 12 V receptacles that are intended only to operate electrical accessories, and which cannot be used with a cigarette lighter. Car manufacturers may offer a cigarette lighter only as an optional extra-cost accessory. Usually, only one 12 V receptacle near the driver will be able to accommodate an actual cigarette lighter, with other receptacles designated as "12 V auxiliary power outlets" which are not physically able to power a lighter.[citation needed]
Coulomb It is equivalent to the charge of approximately 7018624200000000000♠6.242×1018 (6995103600000000000♠1.036×10−5 mol) protons, and −1 C is equivalent to the charge of approximately 7018624200000000000♠6.242×1018 electrons.
Galvanic cell In addition, electrons flow through the external conductor, which is the primary application of the galvanic cell.
Torque converter Some of these devices are also equipped with a "lockup" mechanism which rigidly binds the engine to the transmission when their speeds are nearly equal, to avoid slippage and a resulting loss of efficiency.
Electric current The consequence of this convention is that electrons, the charge carriers in metal wires and most other parts of electric circuits, flow in the opposite direction of conventional current flow in an electrical circuit.
Cigarette lighter receptacle The lighter is a metal or plastic cylinder containing a thin flat coil of nichrome metal strip, through which high current (~10 amperes) passes when the device is activated, usually by pushing it into the socket as though it were a push-button. When pushed in, the lighter is held against the force of a spring by a clip attached to a bi-metallic strip.[4] The heating element glows orange hot in seconds, causing the bi-metallic strip to bend and release the mechanism, and the handle pops out, eliminating the need for the smoker to time the heating operation. If the lighter is then promptly removed from its socket, it can light a cigarette, cigar, or tinder.
