FUNCTIONS of THE ALTERNATOR:①Charging the battery: The alternator provides electrical energy to charge the battery, ensuring that the battery remains charged and is able to start the engine②Powering the electrical system: It provides power to components such as the headlights, radio, air conditioning, and other systems when the engine is running③Maintaining voltage regulation: The alternator helps maintain a steady voltage level for the electrical system, preventing voltage spikes or sags from causing damage
HOW an ALTERNATOR WORKS:The alternator is connected to the engine by a belt (usually a serpentine belt) When the engine is running, the belt spins the alternator's rotor inside a set of copper wire coils (the stator) This motion creates an electromagnetic field, which produces alternating current (AC) Since vehicles use direct current (DC), the alternator has a diode rectifier that converts AC to DC A voltage regulator ensures that the alternator provides the correct amount of power to the vehicle's systems without overcharging the battery
