Alternator is also in the genrator its main work is convert mech energy into electrical energy.

Alternators are used in modern automobiles to charge the battery and to power the electrical system when its engine is running.
Until the 1960s, automobiles used DC dynamo generators with commutators.

Whether the engine is in an off condition. The alternator will supply the power to battery? Tell me anyone.

There is a basic difference between alternator and dinamo 1. Alternator can produce current with a minimum revolution where dinamo need a maximum revolution to produce current. One thing I would like to mention that alternator and dinamo both are produce alternative current. The alternator has three phase and dinamo has two phase. That is the main cause dinamo need more revolution to produce same amount of current related to alternator.

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.
