Alternator
A car alternator is a device that converts mechanical energy from the engine into electrical energy.
The car alternator is important because it helps keep the car’s battery charged and provides power to the electrical system while the engine is running.
The car alternator is typically located near the front of the engine, usually mounted on brackets that are bolted to the engine block.
A car alternator works by using a rotating magnetic field and stationary coils of wire to generate an alternating current (AC). This AC current is then converted to direct current (DC) through a series of diodes, which is then used to recharge the car’s battery and power its electrical system.
