How is the role of an electromagnet in a motor different from the role of an electromagnet in an generator?

I thinkit is different because a motor changes eletricalenergryinto motion a generator changesa motion into eletericalenergy.


How is an electric motor different from generator?

Motor is device which converts electrical energy to mechanical energy,where as generator converts mechanical energy to electrical energy


What is the different between 3phase plus N generator coil and motor coil?

Generator coils generate the voltage, motor coils use the generated voltage.


How is an electric motor different than an electromagnet generator?

Some types of motor can work equally well as a generator. A DC motor runs on a DC supply and supplies a mechanical load. If the load is removed the motor will free-run a little faster. But if the shaft is then driven faster than that, the current flows the opposite way and the motor has become a generator.


Why load angle is positive for generator and negative for motor?

simply put a motor consumes power and a generator produces it. reactance of a generator = - reactance of a motor


Can a motor operate as generator?

Yes, by giving mechanical power to motor . It acts as a Generator.

How does ac electric motor convert in to an alternator?

a motor is a generator and a generator is a motor, if you are applying a voltage to turn the rotor its a motor and if you are turning the rotor and taking the voltage off the terminals its a generator or alternator.


How do you identify a motor and a generator without operation?

a motor drives something a generator is driven by something


How do you convert a DC motor to a generator?

all the electrical machines can be run either as a motor or as a generator. but dc machines, A motor can be run as generator and vice versa with little modification


What are some examples of motor violations?

speeding ,bald tyres, no tax, no MOT are all motor violations


How does a generator use electromagnetic induction?

There is a motor in a generator which carries out this electromagnetic induction,as we switch on the generator the magnetic field lines between that motor get cuts off by the rotating coil which cause change in flux and change in flux cause induced emf,cue to emf at different points of coil cause current to get flow and then generator will get on.
