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.
I thinkit is different because a motor changes eletricalenergryinto motion a generator changesa motion into eletericalenergy.
Every electric motor and generator uses an electromagnet.

Motor is device which converts electrical energy to mechanical energy,where as generator converts mechanical energy to electrical energy
The electromagnet in an electric motor is typically called the rotor or the armature. It is the part of the motor that rotates when an electric current is passed through it, generating mechanical energy.

An electric motor uses an electromagnet to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. The electromagnet generates a magnetic field that interacts with other magnetic fields to produce motion, causing the motor to run.
