Basically alternator use for convert mechanical energy to electrical energy but in automobile function it use only for continuously recharge the battery.

But initially it converts mechanical energy to electrical energy, than it helps to recharge battery. So, initial step should be the actual answer.

Alternator main function is its convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Its charging the battery or store the the energy is secondary.

But the first alternator converts mechanical to electrical energy then it recharges the battery.

So, I think option B is the correct answer.

Alternator is basically dynamo working due to force of exhaust gases which charges battery, it is use of exhaust gases inside supercharger.

Option C is right but option B is also right because main function of alternator is to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.

I was using alternator in my project instead of motor then how can you say alternator is used to continually recharge the battery.

Seetharaman said:   6 years ago
It's not true. The main function of the alternator and dynamo is converting the engine's mechanical energy to electrical energy.

Alternator is used to convert the mechanical energy in to the electrical energy by using of the crank shaft power.

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