What are similarities and dissimilarities between a motor and an electric generator?
An electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. While an electrical generator does the opposite.
Can a turbine in a hydroelectric power plant makes energy?
Well, no. A turbine does not MAKE energy. It changes one form of energy to another. A Pelton turbine in a hydroelectric plant changes the weight and force of falling water to rotary mechanical energy, which is used to turn a generator. That changes mechanical energy to electrical energy. But none of that MAKES energy.
What device converts mechanical energy to light energy?
you can use generator which covert mecahnical energy to electric energy .......
An electric motor is a generator in reverse meaning that it can turn electricity into?
An electrical motor generator in reverse means that it can turn the electrical energy to mechanical and kinetic energy.
What is the difference between motor and generator in electrical machine?
A motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy and a generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.Longer answerThe primary difference between a motor and a generator is that one converts electrical energy into mechanical energy (that's the motor) and the other converts mechanical energy into electrical energy (that's the generator).In some cases of direct current (DC) machines, but not alternating current (AC) machines, there is so little difference that a single device (it might be called a motor-generator) can be used as either a motor or a generator.A superb example of this would be the motor-generator that is used in electric vehicles: when the vehicle is accelerated, the batteries supply power to the motor-generator and it acts as a motor, driving the wheels. When the brake is applied, the motor-generator shifts function and the vehicle's inertia is used by the motor-generator to generate electricity and put some energy back into the batteries. This slows the vehicle down. The one device (the motor-generator) is being used in either capacity. The "handle" often applied to electric vehicles with this feature is dynamic braking.They alike because they both have stators and rotors they are different in that the generator is driven by mechanical device that rotates the rotor, the rotor cuts through magnetic force fields and electricity is generated. The motor is driven by an input of electricity into the stator and the rotor is forced to turn by reaction with magnetic force fields.Generator will provides current to load ......... but motor will drawn current............... generator is based on Flemming right hand rule but motor is based on left hand rule.
What changes mechanical energy to energy?
A generator changes mechanical energy into electrical energy.
How does a generator transform electrical energy?
A generator changes mechanical energy into electrical energy.
What energy transformations in wind generator?
The mechanical energy of wind pushes on the blades, turning them (still mechanical energy) turning blades turn the generator (still mechanical) The generator changes mechanical energy to electrical energy.
What device changes mechanical energy into electrical energy?
An electrical generator
What type of energy is a gas powered generator used to convert?
It changes mechanical energy into electrical energy. Hope that helps.
What type of energy is a gas-powered generator used to convert?
It changes mechanical energy into electrical energy. Hope that helps.
What device changes mechanical energy to electrical energy by rotating a coil wire through a magnetic field?
That's an electrical generator, whether the mechanical energy comes from steam or water flowing through a turbine, or wind, or tides.
What is the function of an electric generator in terms of electric power in motion?
It changes mechanical energy to electricity.
What is the function of electric generator in terms of electric power and motion?
It changes mechanical energy to electricity.
How are motors and a generator different?
Motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy and generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy
Which energy changes takes place when a pedling cyclist uses a generator to light his bicycle lamp?
There are 2 energy changes that take place in this action: Mechanical to Light Energy and Mechanical to Electrical Energy. To explain further, when a generator, which uses mechanical energy, is used in turn to light up the bicycle lamp, the light emitted is light energy. At the same time, when the generator lights up the bicycle lamp, the lamp is light up using electrical energy, so mechanical energy also transformed into electrical energy. ===============================> heat and light (in the light bulb)
What does a generator convert?
A generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
