It is called alternator<\/strong> to machine<\/strong> what generates alternating electric current<\/strong> from the transformation of the mechanical energy<\/strong>. In order to carry out this objective, it resorts to the electromagnetic induction<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Alternator\"To understand how an alternator works, you first need to know what the mechanical energy<\/strong>. This energy consists of the sum of the Kinetic energy<\/strong> (given by the movement) and the potential energy<\/strong> (linked to the ability to develop a job by virtue of the position one has in a force field) of a body.<\/p>\n

The kinetic energy plus the potential energy of a body, therefore, constitute its mechanical energy. What an alternator does is take this energy and convert it into a alternating current<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At this point we come to another key concept. Alternating current is a electric current<\/strong> (flow of electric charges) whose direction of movement is periodically reversed.<\/p>\n

To convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, the alternator uses the electromagnetic induction<\/strong>. This phenomenon makes it possible to produce a electromotive force<\/strong> in a Body<\/strong> that is exposed to a varying magnetic field.<\/p>\n

If a conductor is subjected to a varying magnetic field, it induces an electromotive force (tension<\/strong>). The alternator, in this frame, changes polarity constantly to produce movement, and therefore, electric power<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It can be said that the alternator is a rotating machine that presents a inductor<\/strong> (which receives the mechanical energy of the rotation and allows the creation of the magnetic field) and a induced<\/strong> (the driver<\/strong> which is traversed by the force of the magnetic field). The most frequent use of alternators is the generation of alternating current energy to supply an electrical network.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n
