What part of an automobile supplies current?
Alternator and battery
What is the function of alternator in automobiles?
It generates electricity to chrage the automobile battery.
Could an alternator from an another car fit your daewoo tacuma?
Most alternators are interchangeable. You will need to use an alternator that has the correct amperage for the make and model of your automobile.
How do you convert kinetic energy into electrical energy in roads?
Using an alternator powered by the wheels of an automobile.
What is the difference between an alternator and a stator?
An alternator is a device that generates power for an automobile to run its electrical loads and to charge the battery. A stator is one of the internal parts of the alternator, specifically the stationary windings that generate the 3-phase AC.
What does alternator belt look like on pulleys?
The way the alternator belt raps around pulleys in the automobile differs by vehicle and engine. An alternator belt in an older vehicle usually just went around the fan blade, the water pump, and the alternator. Today's vehicles are more complicated and might require more pulleys.
Current in cars ac or DC?
The Current in a automobile is DC, you have a battery which is dc, and your alternator produces ac current but converts it to DC inside the alternator unit which gives your battery DC power. So basically everything in your car is DC.
What does an automobile alternator do?
alternator can produce the current to supply in the vehicle our vehicle needs D.C current but the alternator can produce A.C current the A.C currrent can convert into D. current by diodes ADVANTAGES OF ALTERNATOR: it is light weight it is compaq in olden days generator are used but it is a heavy weight and it can occupy more space so alternators re used
Can an automobile battery be recharged just by driving it a long distance?
Yes, if the alternator is functioning and you are not loading the charging circuit (using as much charge as the alternator is putting out so the battery receives nothing). Please note that "Idling" to charge the alternator normally does not work as the alternator is not turning fast enough to charge the battery, it only maintains the status quo for energy usage.
What type of current produced in alternator?
Alternators usually produce AC current but in an automobile the current is fed through diodes which coverts it to DC power that the car can use.
What should the output of an automobile alternator be?
Alternator Output Voltage RangeGenerally, an automotive alternator is considered to be "good" if the output voltage is in the range between 12 1/2 volts and a maximum of 16 volts.Anything below 12 1/2 volts probably will not adequately charge the battery, and voltages above 16 volts can "cook" the water out of the electrolyte, and cause damage to the battery.
Please explain the charging circuit in automobile. 1. How does the charging light comes on when ignition switch is turned on 2. How charging light comes on when alternator is not or less charging?
When the ignition is turned on, battery voltage passes down the wire to the alternator to 'excite' the alternator when the engine starts. When the engine starts and the alternator generates a voltage, the light is extinguised by the charging voltage cancelling out the battery voltage coming down the wire. If and when the alternator completetly fails the the light will come back on as there is no sancelling voltage. if the alternator produces a voltage lower than the voltage from the ignition switch then the battery light will glow.
