What is difference between principle of electric motor and principle of AC generator
Answers
Answer: S.No. Differentiating Property Motor Generator
1
Definition
An electric motor is a machine that converts electrical energy to mechanical energy.
An electric generator is a machine that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy.`
2
Rule
Electric motor follows Fleming’s left-hand rule.
Electric generator follows Fleming’s right-hand rule.
3
Principle
Motors works on the principle that a current carrying conductor experiences a force when placed in a magnetic field.
Generators work on the principle of 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.
Explanation:
Answer:
when a rotor is moved by anyway around armature it produce electricity, it is generator.and when a current passed through rotor it moves due to magnatism of armature , it is electric motor.
