Which of the following statements about how electrical current flow is induced in an alternator is correct?

A) rotating magnetic field induces a voltage into stationary windings
B) stationary magnetic field induces voltage within a rotor
C) current flow from the alternator is sourced from the battery banks
D) current flow from the alternator is sourced from the voltage regulator

Rotating Magnetic Field

A magnetic field that rotates in space within electrical machinery, used to generate rotating mechanical force.

Stationary Windings

Fixed coils of wire in an electric motor or generator that contribute to magnetic field production when current flows through them.

Voltage Regulator

Controls voltage in a circuit either electromechanically (obsolete) or electronically.
