As is the case with many drivers and car owners, you likely have a relatively considerable awareness of different parts of an engine, including the alternator. You likely know of the existence of an alternator in your engine, but not be precisely aware what it does.
The alternator in your motor vehicle actually is a generator. In fact, an alternator works the same way as a generator. The underlying principle of an alternator is akin to water falling over a hydroelectric dam. Spinning wheels in both cases generate electricity. When the car is running, it generates electricity and also charges the battery. The battery and the alternator are closely connected in the overall operating system of a motor vehicle.
