In a hydraulic brake system, when the brake pedal is pressed, it exerts pressure on the brake fluid in a master cylinder. This pressure is transmitted through the brake lines to the brake calipers or wheel cylinders, where it acts on pistons. These pistons then apply force to the brake pads or shoes, which press against the rotors or drums, slowing down the vehicle. The use of fluid allows for a significant multiplication of force.
