Alternator in Automobile Engineering

alternator

All alternators work on the principle of electromagnetic induction. According to this act, a conductor, magnetic field, and mechanical energy are required to generate electricity The main parts of an alternator are, apparently, a stator and a rotor. But, unlike other machines, in most alternators, the field exciter rotates and the armature coil becomes stationary. … Read more

Starting system in Automobile Engineering

starting system

Starter Motor: A starter motor converts the electrical energy stored in the battery into mechanical energy to crank the engine for starting. A simple electric motor includes a horseshoe-shaped soft-iron yoke with field windings wound around each of the two pole pieces.  The armature winding rotates between the pole-pieces with its ends attached to each … Read more
