Both are simply opposite.

First of all a motor is any thing which produces mechanical energy with electrical energy intake and Generator is Vice-versa. It produces electrical energy with mechanical energy intake.Both are in same principle of induction but in opposite direction.

Few appliances work on AC and few on DC(Alternative current,Direct current). AC has two levels to fluctuate i.e Positive and Negative where as DC has only one value to speak with,either positive or negative.

Now DC Motor "needs" DC charge to operate and DC Generator "produces" DC charge as the output.

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 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).


What is the difference between a seperately excited DC generator and DC shunt generator?

The difference between a separately excited DC generator and a Shunt DC generator is that for a separately excited Dc generator , the excitation field winding is supplied by an external source different from that supplying the armature while for shunt generator, the excitation field windind is connected in series with the armature and supplied by a single source.

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.

Difference between AC and DC generator?

The major difference between an AC generator and a DC generatoris that the DC generator requires a mechanism to provide a DC output. This can be done mechanically with a commutator or electronically with a rectifier. Internally, all generators produce an alternating voltage. Allgeneratorsrequire a magnetic field.


How do you make DC generator?

A DC generator is a DC machine that is driven by an external rotating force. It is constructed the same as a DC motor.
