Question

difference between electric motor and electric generator

Answer 1

Differences:

An electrical motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy,where as a generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

The principle of a electric motor if there is a change of the magnetic field across a conductor  electrons are forced to move in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field,where as in a generator if a charge is moving in a magnetic field, a force acts on the charge in a direction perpendicular to both the velocity of the charge and the magnetic field.

similarities:

Both electric motor and generator work on the magnetic effects of electric current.

Both have the armatures to rotate the loop.

Answer 2

The main difference between the two is that the Motor is an electric device which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. The generator is vice versa of that motor. It converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
