- Electric motor: Electrical → Mechanical
- Electric Generator: Mechanical → Electrical
A motor and generator perform opposite functions, but their fundamental structure is the same. Their structure is a coil mounted on an axel within a magnetic field.
The motor is used to produce rotational motion from an electrical supply. In a motor an electric current is passed through the coil which forces it to rotate as the coil's magnetic field interacts with the field it is mounted in.
The generator is used to produce an electric current from rotational motion (on large scale power stations a turbine is used to provide this rotation). In a generator the rotation causes the coil to rotate inside the magnetic field. This induces a current in the coil. The output current is alternating. In power stations it is usually the magnet which is attached to the axel and rotated, with the coils surrounding the magnet. However the end result is the same.

What differences between -5 and 1?
Well, there are a few key differences between the two. One is negative, one positive. 1 happens to be greater than -5, but the difference between the two numbers is 6; it takes five to get from -5 to zero (-5+5=0) and another one to get to 1 (0+1=1). 5+1=6
