The efficiency of any machine is the output power divided by the input power, usually expressed as a percentage.
i think both will be same..
we can predetemine the efficiency of a dc machines working as a motor or generator
Depending on what you're referring to, you may have this completely backwards. A motor's efficiency is fairly high. A generator's efficiency at converting chemical/kinetic/mechanical energy to electric energy is at best around 50%.
becoz alternater has work on principle of electomagnetic induction .
swinburne's test on dc shunt machine is to predetermine the efficiency of the dc machine , but it is not accurate it is just like estimation of efficiency of dc shunt machine when it is run as a motor and a generator............................
the generator windings are made of more thicker windings . Hence lesser resistance and lower Cu losses

It's all to do with the conservation of energy. The output power of the transformer cannot be greater than the input power from the motor used to drive your generator! In fact, it will be significantly lower than the power of your first motor due to the efficiency of the motor, of the generator being driven by that motor, and of the transformer. So if you then try to run the original motor from the output of your transformer, the energy-losses will simply accumulate, and the motor will not be able to run!
simply put a motor consumes power and a generator produces it. reactance of a generator = - reactance of a motor
Yes, by giving mechanical power to motor . It acts as a Generator.
Mike Faraday did invent the generator and motor.
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.
