Question

question 4 (6.7 points)
technician a says that an alternators ac current flows in both directions. technician b says an alternators ac current must be rectified before it is used by the electrical system. who is right?

1. technician a only
2. technician b only
3. both technician a and b
4. neither a nor b

Explanation:

• Alternators produce AC (alternating current), which by definition flows in both directions. So Technician A is correct.
• In a vehicle's electrical system (which is typically DC - based), the AC current from the alternator must be rectified (converted to DC) before it can be used. So Technician B is also correct.

Answer:

1. Both Technician A and B
