Question

the role of a starter in the starting and charging system is to... select the correct answer: store electrical energy needed to start the engine return electrical energy to the battery removed during startup convert electrical energy into mechanical energy needed to start the engine convert mechanical energy into electrical energy needed to start the engine

Explanation:

A starter in a starting and - charging system takes electrical energy from the battery and uses it to turn the engine's crankshaft, which means it converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to start the engine. The battery stores electrical energy. The alternator returns electrical energy to the battery during normal operation after startup. And the starter does not convert mechanical energy into electrical energy for starting the engine.

Answer:

Convert electrical energy into mechanical energy needed to start the engine
