electrical 2 quiz 3

the function of the alternator is to generate electricity by converting mechanical energy from the engine into electric energy using the principals of electromagnetic induction.

• true

• false

three elements needed to induce voltage are: magnetism, motion, and a conductor.

• true

• false

if an alternator drive belt is in poor condition and slipping it will not spin the stator fast enough to produce maximum system output

• true

• false

the purpose of the fan blades located on an alternator is to assist the radiator fan in cooling the engine

• true

• false

the component from an automotive generator that produces magnetism is the stator

• true

• false

an open circuit in a rotor winding will cause an alternator charge to much

• true

• false

the function of an alternator rotor is to be a stationary conductor that actually generates voltage and amperage

• true

• false

a delta type stator winding has two separate windings; a wye type has stator has three separate windings.

• true

• false

brushes provide an electrical connection between the rotor winding slip rings and the external field circuit.

• true

• false

the output of an alternator is rated in amps and is dependent on the design of the stator windings

• true

• false
