Question

Give two differences between electric motor and generator?

Answer 1

electric motor =1) electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.
2) it is based on the principle that when a current carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field it experiences a mechanical force .
electric generator =1)electric generator mechanical energy is used to rotate a conductor in a magnetic field to produce electricity
2) it is based on the principle of electro magnetic induction.

Answer 2

The two differences between electric motor and generator are:-
Electric Motor
*For a motor the input energy is electrical energy and the useful output energy is mechanical energy.
*Electric motor: Electrical → Mechanical
Generator
* For a generator the input energy is mechanical energy and the useful output energy is electrical energy.
*-Electric Generator: Mechanical → Electrical
