Question

Explain working of electric motor and electric generator in simple terms

Answer 1

The opposite is done by generators that convert mechanical work to electrical energy. Principle of Generators: When a conductor moves in a magnetic field, an emf is induced across the conductor. This is the only basis on which each and every rotating electric generator works.

An electric motor is a machine which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.Principle: It is based on the principle that when a current-carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a mechanical force whose direction is given by Fleming's Left-hand rule and whose magnitude is given by.
