The alternator is part of the loop. The firld coil is where the voltage
reg's input modifies the output of the alternator.

The regulator tells the alternator what to do, based on it's observations of
system voltage and output current.   No sense letting the alternator burn
itself up into a short. (and fusible links help too!)
