How is gas converted into electricity in a car?
In: 0
The engine burns the gas which causes the engine to spin. That spinning motion is used to drive several things, one of which is the alternator.
An alternator is a metal case that contains a bunch of copper windings and a spinning axle that carries some magnets. If you move a magnet with a coil of wire or move the coil of wire over the magnet, you generate an electrical current. In a car, this is used to run your electrical accessories and charge your battery.
