A limited slip differential uses __________ to provide more torque to the wheel with traction.

A limited slip differential uses friction and a set of clutches to provide more torque to the wheel with traction.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

1. When both wheels are moving at the same speed, the clutches within the differential are not engaged and power is distributed equally to both wheels.

2. When one wheel starts to spin faster than the other (as it would when it loses traction), the difference in speed causes the clutches to engage.

3. This engagement creates friction within the differential, which resists the speed difference between the wheels.

4. As a result, more torque is transferred to the wheel that is moving slower and has more traction.

5. This allows the vehicle to maintain forward momentum even if one wheel loses traction.
