The alternator is an electromechanical device found in vehicles that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. Its primary function is to generate electricity to power the electrical systems and recharge the battery. Unlike older generators, the alternator is more efficient and widely used in modern automobiles. It consists of a rotor, stator, diode rectifier, and voltage regulator. As the engine runs, the alternator’s rotor spins, creating a rotating magnetic field. This magnetic field induces an alternating current (AC) in the stator windings. The AC is then converted
