Question

Question 4 1 pts Two technicians are discussing automotive electrical components. Tech A states that an alternator charges the battery when the engine is running. Tech B states that the starter motor turns the engine over when the engine needs to be started. Who is correct? O Tech A only Neither tech is correct O Tech B only Both techs are correct​

Answer 1

Both are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternator creates alternating current that is rectified to direct current. Supplies about 13.5 volts to charge a 12 volt battery. Alternator is spinning when engine is running, belt driven.

Starter motor engages a pinion gear that is spun by the direct current electrical field. Gear spins the flywheel on the automotive engine. Drops out once engine is running.
