GENERATOR:

  • converts mechanical energy to electrical energy.
  • It works on flemings right hand rule.
  • It works on the princple that an EMF is induced when a changing magnetic field links with the conductor. This emf is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic field linking the conductor.
MOTOR:
  • converts electrical energy to mechanical energy.
  • works on flemings left hand rule.
  • It works on the princple that a mechanical force is experienced by the current carrying conductor when placed in magnetic field.

Why current is supplied to DC motor?

What supplies a dc motor is not current, but voltage. Current is what flows in the circuit formed by the dc motor and for the charge. That current varies according to the resistance of the circuit.


What is the major difference between a bipolar an unipolar dc?

Bipolar dc involves both majority carrier and minority carriers for conduction while unipolar requires only majority carriers or minority carriers during conduction. point of view based on electronics devices.


What is binding pitch and commutator pitch?

Binding pitch is the distance between two consecutive groups of coils in a stator, while commutator pitch is the distance between two consecutive segments in a DC motor's commutator. Both pitches are essential for the proper functioning of the motor and determine its performance characteristics.


What is the difference between Variable Speed Drive and Variable Frequency Drive?

A variable frequency drive (VFD) refers to AC drives only and a variable speed drive (VSD) refers to either AC Drives or DC Drives. VFD's vary the speed of an AC motor by varying the frequency to the motor. VSD's referring to DC motors vary the speed by varying the voltage to the motor.


How is torque produced in a dc motor?

Torque in a DC motor is produced by the interaction between the magnetic fields created by the stator (fixed part) and the rotor (rotating part). As electric current flows through the coils in the stator, it creates a magnetic field that interacts with the permanent magnets or electromagnets in the rotor, causing it to rotate and produce mechanical torque.

What is AC motor and DC motor?

AC stands for alternating current, and DC is direct current. A motor is a device that uses electrical energy to spin. An AC motor uses AC voltage, and a DC motor uses DC voltage. http://ezinearticles.com/?The-Difference-Between-AC-and-DC-Electric-Motors&id=193767


What is the difference between a DC motor and a DC generator Why can't you use a DC motor as DC generator?

A DC motor converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. The converted energy is provided to a mechanical load.A DC generator converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. The converted energy is provided to the electrical load (voltage, current referring load).A DC motor can be used as a DC generator and vice-versa.

What is the main difference between dc motor and dc servo motor?

A DC motor is an electric motor that turns on the application of a DC current. A DC Servo motor is similar but it produces a DC current from a mechanic movement of the armateur or may also produce small movement from the application of low current.. An example of a servo motor is as was used in steering gears and auto pilots. The physical turning of the wheel either caused a current to flow or caused an inbalance in the electrical systems, this causes a counter action to restore the original position.


What is the difference between DC motors and DC generator?

A generator turns mechanical (or other) energy into electricity. A motor does the exact opposite, turning electrical energy into mechanical energy (e.g. motion).


Why would a 110 motor runs slowly backwards?

It depends on if the motor is an AC motor, or DC motor. DC motors only run backwards when the voltages get crossed between + and -.


What is the difference between a DC motor and a generator in terms of EMF?

During the operation of a DC motor, EMF is created across its terminals using an external source. Whereas, in a DC generator EMF is created across its terminal based on principle of dynamically induced EMF. So talking in terms of EMF, in DC motor EMF is consumed by the motor coil and utilized to rotate the axle. On the other hand, in DC generator EMF developed across coil is transfered to a load or a battery and consumed by them.
