Alternator Troubleshooting Trick

[CVT]

I've heard some trick of placing the screw driver's tip at the center of the alternator and if it get magnetized then they say that it is functioning . . . not sure though if that is true but induction might really generate some electromagnet.

Yup, the alternator with its rotor, stator and brushes is practically an electromagnet whose output voltage is regulated by the IC voltage regulator or in some old models, diodes or rectifier assembly....
