Answer / pradyumna
1-In an alternator, electricity is produced when a magnetic
field spins inside the stator (windings of wire). In a
generator, on the other hand, the armature or windings of
wire spin inside a fixed magnetic field to generate
electricity.
2-Alternators are considered more efficient than
generators. Alternators conserve energy by using only the
energy that is needed, while generators use all the energy
that is produced. Alternators have a higher output than
generators.
