The brush holder in an alternator keeps the brushes held to slip rings with spring pressure (or commutators in generators or some motors) which provide electrical contact to electromagnets in the spinning rotor. By varying the electrical current through the brushes to the rotor magnets, you can adjust the power output of the alternator as needed.

Have you measured the voltage across the battery with the engine running? It should measure approximately 14v. If not you want to replace your alternator/voltage regulator. Check your shop manual to see if you can open the alternator and replace the brushes. After so many miles the brushes wear down, this is the most frequent cause of alternator failure. there is a fusable link in the line between the battery and the alternator i replaced the battery and alt. but still wouldn't charge track the wire
What is the use of brushes in an electric motor?
Brushes transfer electricity to the commutator which is connected to the winding on the armature. The brushes and commutator form a electrical connection that is good when the brushes are stationary and the commutator is spinning. The commutator on a DC motor is sectioned to power different windings at different times, creating moving field necessairy to pull the armature off a direct current.
