Sure, if the bolts come out the alternator can fall out.

possible but very unlikely if installed correct in the first place
You can test it your self. Start the car might be pain in butt if alternator is really dead if so let car sit for a little while and charge it self up. Also you can knock on alternator with a happer bunch of dust will fall out and it will get you enough time to drive for few day to go get new alternator and install it without car breaking down. Anyways start the car, then disconnect the negative wire on the car if it dies the alternator is dead if not then alternator is good.
an alternator recharges the battery of your car
The alternator of a car is responsible for charging the car battery. Someone who repairs a broken alternator ensures that the alternator works again and continues to keep the car battery charged.
You can purchase a car alternator at Auto Zone, Pep Boys, Firestone, Midas, Goodyear, CarX and you can also purchase a car alternator from any car dealership.
you need the alternator to charge the battery with no alternator when the battery drops to about 10 volts car will not run at all.
Car would either have to be running or alternator removed for bench test
Yes, as long as the engine is running, so is the alternator. The alternator is actually what keeps the car battery charged.
no you can't
the battery job is to start the car so the alternator will kick in after the car is running
yes mine did!
no you cannot kill your alternator by switching your battery from one car to another
Depends on the car. Usually, they are right on the bracket that holds the alternator in place.
