Difference between Alternator (automotive) and Diode

Alternator (automotive) vs. Diode

Alternators are used in modern automobiles to charge the battery and to power the electrical system when its engine is running. A diode is a two-terminal electronic component that conducts current primarily in one direction (asymmetric conductance); it has low (ideally zero) resistance in one direction, and high (ideally infinite) resistance in the other.

Similarities between Alternator (automotive) and Diode

Alternator (automotive) and Diode have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Alternating current, Commutator (electric), Direct current, Rectifier.

Alternating current

Alternating current (AC) is an electric current which periodically reverses direction, in contrast to direct current (DC) which flows only in one direction.

Commutator (electric)

A commutator is a rotary electrical switch in certain types of electric motors and electrical generators that periodically reverses the current direction between the rotor and the external circuit.
