Can a Car Run Normally Without the Generator Producing Electricity?

[AniyahRose]

If the generator does not produce electricity, the car cannot run normally. The generator in a car is a crucial component. A synchronous generator operates based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy through the relative motion between the rotor's magnetic field and the stator windings. Below is an introduction to car generators: 1. Car Generator: The car generator is the main power source of the vehicle. Its function is to supply power to all electrical devices (except the starter) while the engine is running normally and simultaneously charge the battery. 2. Working Principle: When an external circuit energizes the excitation winding through the brushes, it generates a magnetic field, magnetizing the claw poles into N and S poles. As the rotor rotates, the magnetic flux alternates in the stator windings. According to the principle of electromagnetic induction, an alternating electromotive force is induced in the three-phase windings of the stator. This is the power generation principle of an alternator.
