What is the purpose of alternator?

The purpose of an alternator is to generate electrical power for the vehicle's electrical system while the engine is running. This power is used to run everything from the lights and radio to the engine control computer and power steering. Essentially, it keeps the battery charged and supplies power to all the electrical components that need it while the car is in operation.
