Wires within the alternator cut through a magnetic field; this in turn induces electrical current. That current is used to power your car's electrical system, which can be anything from headlights ...

In the pre-computer days, we would do a quick field test by pulling off the negative battery lead while the engine was ...

The output of an alternator can be represented on a voltage ... The coil is moving parallel to the direction of the magnetic field, so no potential difference is induced. B – The coil is ...

A - The coil is at 0°. The coil is moving parallel to the direction of the magnetic field, so no current is induced. B - The coil is at 90°. The coil is moving at 90° to the direction of the ...
