A generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, while a motor does the opposite - it converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Both devices work because of electromagnetic induction, which is when a voltage is induced by a changing magnetic field pls mark brainliest as i worked hard to answer you

Because there are only two kinds of Energies:
- potential energy
- kinetic energy
Everything else is just a manifestation of these 2 forms.
- potential energy can be defined simply as the energy stored in an object by the virtue of its position in a force field.
- kinetic energy can be defined as the energy possessed by the object by the virtue of its motion.
The sum of these two energies is often called Mechanical Energy of the System. If you climbed a hill you gained Potential-Energy (in Gravitational Field) and when you roll-down it get’s converted into Kinetic-Energy.
Electric Energy is also a form of these 2 energies:
- Electric potential energy stored in a charged particle in an electric fieldIf the charge is stored in the form of Ions or Electrons in a field, as in the case of Capacitor it is a form of Electric Potential Energy.
- If those Ions or Electron start moving through a medium due some applied external field you call it Current, which is nothing but the Kinetic-Energy of the charged particles.
I hope this helps.
