Alternator charges the battery, that's it. It has nothing to do with powering the lights gauges or anything like that. If the alternator is malfunctioning, the battery will eventually die. For most cars manufactured after 1990, if the alternator does not work at all, it could prevent the car from starting.
I hope the answer is correct.

It is not true. Purpose of battery is to start the engine and restore it energy. While alternator is running after that power from alternator goes to each and every part of engine (not from battery).

The function of an alternator or a generator is to supply all of the car's electric needs, plus recharge the battery.
A car can run without an alternator or generator, but the battery will eventually go dead.

The main purpose of alternator is to charge the battery but not continuously.
After completion of charging the battery it will cutoff automatically.
If it charge continuously then the charging voltage will be more than the battery voltage then the heavy voltage produced and repelled to the alternator which cause damage to the alternator.
