question 2 (6.7 points)
the voltage regulator controls alternator output by changing the amount of current flow through the:
- stator windings
- rotor field windings
- output windings
- rectifier windings
The voltage regulator in an alternator works by controlling the magnetic field. The rotor field windings are responsible for creating this magnetic field. By changing the current through the rotor field windings, the strength of the magnetic field changes, which in turn controls the alternator output voltage. Stator windings are where the alternating current is induced, output windings are a more general and less specific term in this context, and rectifier windings are not directly related to the field - current control for voltage regulation.
