Yes, provided its a stationary field type generator and it has split rings on its armature.
take a general dc motor used in tape recorders and observe it.
it you give supply, its a dc motor
if you rotate it by the help of other and take the output from its leads its a dc generator
thats simple

What is a DC generator the same as?
A DC generator, or "dynamo", is very similar to a DC electric motor but cannot be described as "exactly the same as a motor" because a DC generator's designed purpose is not to "use" electricity (which a DC motor does) but to "make", or "produce", electricity.
Device that converts energy of motion into an electrical energy?
An electrical generator, these can produce AC or DC electric current.
Does an old car generator put out DC?
Depending on how old it is then an 'old' generator does produce DC current.
How DC generator produces DC current from ac current?
DC GERATORS PRODUCE DC current with the help of spilt ring commutators.
What is the difference between a DC motor and a DC generator Why can't you use a DC motor as DC generator?
A DC motor converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. The converted energy is provided to a mechanical load.A DC generator converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. The converted energy is provided to the electrical load (voltage, current referring load).A DC motor can be used as a DC generator and vice-versa.
Does a generator produce ac or DC voltage?
NO, generator always generating AC current,when commutator is used,at that time AC is converted in DC.and due to this generator is called dc generator.
What do you mean by DC generator?
DC generator is used to produce direct current. The basic DC generator have four basic parts 1. A magnetic field 2. A single conductor or loop 3. A commutator 4. Brushes
What type of current does a storage battery porduce?
Electrical current
What does an electromagnet do in a generator?
in a generator electromagnets are used for producing flux for rotor to cut so it can produce current in small generator they will have residual magnetism and in big generator current is supplied to electromagnet from another small dc generator
What is an energy source for a DC current?
An energy source commonly used for DC current is a battery. A battery generates direct current through a chemical reaction, providing a steady flow of electrons in one direction. Other sources such as solar panels can also produce DC current by converting sunlight into electrical energy.
Which is usually produced by a generator ac or DC?
An ac generator produces ac, a dc generator produces dc, it all depends on the generator.
How DC motor converted into DC generator?
Both dc generator & dc motor are the same and known dc machine.when we give an electrical supply to the dc machine a torque developed due to flux intraction & works as motor.but we used dc machine as a generator we rotate the rotor or prime mover by using external sourse.due to this the rotor conductors cut by the stationary magnetic field and electrical power is generated as per faradays law.Here the main difference is when we giving electrical energy to the rotor of dc machine produce torque(motor)but when we give the mechanical energy to rotor it produce electrical energy(generator)
