C172 alternator
First of all, many thanks for your reply
Second, probably it will be a new C172 not the one with Garmin 1000 but a new model.
Third, i have no clue if my instructor knows about how a generator works, and i am almost positive that he will not go that far into details, however i am fascinated about the systems of an aircraft, whatever it is, and i do like to understand them in details.
So to sum it up, the armature is stationary and it is connected to the commutator converting AC into DC, while the field coil is driven by the engine through a belt and it is excited by the trickle charge from the battery?
