Why are motors wired with solid wire?

Most motors aren't wired with solid wire. Typically only alternators or electric motors have solid wire.


How do magnetism and eletricity work together?

Electricity and magnetism can create each other: Electricity flowing in a wire projects a magnetic field around the wire. Electromagnets, solenoids and motors are examples of this. Magnetic lines of force cutting across a wire induces an electric current in the wire. Generators and alternators are examples of this.


How do you wire the alternator to a battery?

It depends on the alternator. The larger B+ goes to the battery (or starter) The other wire goes to a globe then to the ignition switch (+). Early alternators the globe was a vital part of the circuit. Later ones it is just an indicator. Alternators with more connections have external regulators, track down a proper diagram. BE aware : Some alternators will blow up if the B+ is disconnected whilst the engine is running


Is an alternator from an s13 the same as an s14?

The s13 and s14 alternators are different. The binding post is located on the side of the s14 and on the back of the s13 alternator. The alternators can be interchanged with minimal customizing to the wire that attatches to the binding post.


How you can generate electricity via magnet?

make a coil of wire and pass the magnet quickly by it. There are many ways to implement this. The more turns of wire, the more voltage will be made. If you wind the wire on an iron rod or a nail, then it is more effiicient. The question is not very specific, so try looking up how gnerators or alternators work.

Physically, yes. However, where alternators differ, is in the produced, amps. If both cars have equal electrical amenities, then it will work.

How do you connect the alternator positive and negative wire to starer?

You do not connect any wire from the alternator to the starter. The positive wire from the alternator should run to the positive on the battery, and the negative wire (if equipped) should run to the engine block (or any suitable ground). Most alternators are already grounded by the bolts holding them to the engine, but some do have a negative wire.


Do alternators stop working and then start working?

If there is a small crack in a wire, a temporary short caused by water, a worn graphite brush, any of these can cause a transient malfunction.
