As your car drives down the road, it goes through a little routine.
Once the battery is back up to its optimum level, the car runs solely
on the alternator. The energy generated by the alternator is
sufficient to operate everything on your car. The alternator supplies
energy to your headlights, wipers, distributor, radio, electric
windows, etc., while you are driving.
This is accomplished by the belt that drives the alternator. The
alternator generates the electricity. The electricity flows through
the voltage regulator, which keeps the electricity at a reasonable
voltage level for the car to deal with. Next, the electricity travels
to the various appliances you are using. One of these is the
distributor, which consumes electricity to ignite the spark plugs as
the car runs.
