Running Circuit

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.
