Difference between Alternator (automotive) and Electric generator

Alternator (automotive) vs. Electric generator

Alternators are used in modern automobiles to charge the battery and to power the electrical system when its engine is running. In electricity generation, a generator is a device that converts motive power (mechanical energy) into electrical power for use in an external circuit.

Similarities between Alternator (automotive) and Electric generator

Alternator (automotive) and Electric generator have 11 things in common (in Unionpedia): Alternating current, Alternator, Ampere, Commutator (electric), Direct current, Dynamo, Field coil, Internal combustion engine, Magneto, Polyphase system, 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.
