Want this question answered?
A generator changes mechanical energy into electrical energy.
A dam does not transform mechanical energy from the motion of water into electrical energy. A turbine can convert the kinetic energy of moving water, coming from a dam, a river, or anywhere, into mechanical energy, which a generator then takes to convert that into electrical energy.
I don't know how to convert it, but I'll answer the second question.Mechanical energy is made from say...a Bike, the energy that makes it move and pulls it forward is considered mechanical energy. Electrical energy is made from a lightbulb, or anything that is electrical. So to answer that question..No, mechanical energy is not the same as electrical energy.Answer:Electrical Energy is consumed by, it is not made from a lightbulb or anything that is electrical... Steam (thermal energy) drives a turbine which drives a generator (mechanical energy) which produces electrical energy.No they are not the same thing aside from both being forms of energy.Electrical energy can be converted into mechanical energy such as plugging in your blender or vacuum cleaner and mechanical energy can be converted to electrical energy as mentioned in the example of the generator above.
name a device that convert the mechanical energy into electrical energy
everything that uses energy has heat energy! So yes, it does!
electrical energy converted to mechanical energy
A generator changes mechanical energy into electrical energy.

Generator can transform mechanical energy into electrical energy by converting the rotational motion of its turbine into electrical current through electromagnetic induction.
Losses are due to inefficencies of the motor, and friction on moving parts.
hook an electric motor to the axle
It doesn't. It converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. Electricity drives the rotor which has inclined blades these move the air.
The generators transfer mechanical energy into very useful electrical energy.
You can transform thermal energy to electrical energy in a power plant, chemical energy to mechanical energy in an internal combustion engine, or nuclear energy into thermal energy in a nuclear reactor. These are just three examples.

Motors convert electrical energy to mechanical energy. Generators transfer mechanical energy to electrical energy.
