Question
You have been asked to investigate the loading effects on an alternator supplying a load and also charging a car battery at the same time. The output of the alternator has been rectified to smooth dc, and the circuit is shown below.
Using Kirchhoff analysis, determine the initial current in each section along with its direction and the potential difference across the load.
