The function of the condensor in a breaker points ignition system is to what?

The function of the condenser in a breaker points ignition system is to store electrical energy and release it quickly to create a high-voltage spark at the spark plug. It helps to suppress voltage spikes that can occur when the breaker points open, preventing arcing and prolonging the life of the points. Additionally, the condenser aids in ensuring a more efficient ignition timing by improving the overall performance of the ignition system.
