What one converts electrical energy into mechanical energy that is used for work motors or generators?
A generator
Name the device which converts electrical energy to mechanical energy.more examples?
The device that converts electrical energy to mechanical energy is an electric motor. Electric motors are also used as generators in hybrid automobiles to convert mechanical energy back to electrical energy.
How are generators and motors similar?
The basic idea behind a generator is that it converts mechanical energy (kinetic) to electrical energy in the form of electric current. A motor does this process in reverse: it uses electrical energy and converts it into mechanical energy (it produces motion). This is, presumably, what your physics teacher wants to hear.
What are some examples of some real life electromagnets?
All the electric motors/generators in your life. For instance: an electric egg-beater, the "alternator" and the starter in your car, vacuum cleaners.
What are 2 things of energy that generators convert into electrical energy?
Heaters (With Resistive Coils) will change Electrical Energy into Heat Energy. Electric Motors (AC and DC) will convert Electrical Energy into Motion Energy.
How are motors and generators examples of energy changing forms?
They are because they can.
Explain why electric motors and generators are opposites?
Electric motors take electric energy and turn it into kinetic energy Generators take mechanical energy and turn it into electric energy
What do generators and motors have in common?
Electric motors and generators are electromagnetic devices that are the opposite of each other. Electric motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, while electric generators convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.
What one converts electrical energy into mechanical energy that is used for work motors or generators?
A generator
What are the examples of electromagnetism?
Radio, electric bell, speakers, motors, generators, microphones etc.

The conversion of electrical energy in to mechanical energy?
Motors convert electrical energy to mechanical energy. Generators transfer mechanical energy to electrical energy.
Are coal and oil motors or generators?
They are neither. Coal is a fuel which can be used to run motors and generators.
Are motors the same as generators?
No. No. No. No.

What has the author Pericles Emanuel written?
Pericles Emanuel has written: 'Motors, generators, transformers, and energy' -- subject(s): Electric machinery
What are the comparisons between motors and generators?
Electric Motors • The electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy • The shaft of a motor is driven by the magnetic forces developed between the armature and field • Current has to be supplied to the armature winding. • Motors obey Fleming`s Left Hand Rule • Electric Motors Fleming`s Left Hand Rule The Left Hand Rule shows what happens when charged particles enter a magnetic field. Generators • A generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. • A shaft attached to the rotor is driven by a mechanical force • Electric current is produced in the armature windings. • Generators obey Fleming's Right Hand Rule • Generators The Right Hand Rule shows how a current-carrying wire generates a magnetic field.
