Write two difference between electric motor and electric generator
Answers
The motor and the generator are almost similar from the construction point of view, as both have stator and rotor. The main difference between the two is that the Motor is an electric device which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. The generator is vice versa of that motor.
The Difference between Motor and Generator are as follows:-.
The Motor converts electric energy into mechanical energy, whereas generator does the opposite.
Electricity is used in the motor, but the generator produces the electricity.
The Shaft of the motor is driven by the magnetic force developed between armature and field windings whereas, in the case of the Generator the Shaft is attached to the rotor and is driven by mechanical force.
The current is to be supplied to the armature windings in case of a Motor, and in Generator, current is produced in the armature windings.
Motor follows Fleming’s Left hand rule while Generator follows Fleming’s Right hand rule.
The example of Motor is an electric car or bike where electric current is supplied to the machine or device, and it gets converted into mechanical motion and, as a result, the car or bike moves. The example of Generator is that in power stations the turbine is used as a device which converts mechanical energy of force of water falling from the dam to generate electric energy.
