2
Rule
Electric motor follows Fleming’s left-hand rule.
Electric generator follows Fleming’s right-hand rule.
3
Principle
The working principle of a motor is based on the current-carrying conductor that experiences a force when it is kept in the magnetic field.
The working principle of generator is based on electromagnetic induction.
4
Driving force for shaft
The shaft of an electric motor is driven by a magnetic force which is developed between the armature and field.
The shaft of an electric generator is connected to the rotor which is driven by a mechanical force.
5
Current Usage
In a motor, current is supplied to the armature winding.
In a generator, current is produced in the armature winding.
6
Example
Ceiling fans, cars, etc. are all examples of motor.
In power stations, generator is used to generate electricity.
