What is the difference between electromagnets and electric generators?

Really oversimplifying it: an electromagnet converts electric current to a magnetic field and an electric generator converts mechanical rotation to an electric voltage.
An electromagnet has no moving parts while an electric generator is composed of a stationary part called the "stator" and a rotating part called the "rotor".
An electric generator may contain either permanent magnets or electromagnets, depending on the type of generator.

What is the difference in functions between generators and electric motors?
the electric motors are round and the generators are square and they are powered by the sunshine the generators blow bubbles and the electric motors blow somkey green gas!! this gas is deadly If you are able, perhaps you can answer this in a serious manner. If you don't know the answer, than please STFU!!

Where can I find a list of various types of propane generators?
Propane generators are great to research. You can use wikipedia to find information that describes the difference between propane generators that would be useful to you.
What is the difference between electronics and electromagnetism?
Electronics use electricity for power while electromagnets are magnets created by electricity.
What is the difference between electricmotor and generator?
Here are the main differences between an electric motor and an electric generator: Functionality: Electric motors convert electrical energy into mechanical or kinetic energy, whereas electric generators convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Usage: Electric motors are used in fans, mixers, washing machines, and other household appliances, whereas electric generators are used as power backup during outages, in construction sites, mining areas, and agriculture. Fleming’s Rule: Electric motors follow Fleming’s left-hand rule, whereas electric generators follow Fleming’s right-hand rule. Principle: The working principle of a motor is based on the current-carrying conductor, whereas the working principle of a generator is based on electromagnetic induction. Current: In motors, the current has to be supplied to armature windings, whereas in generators, armature windings produce current. EMF: Electric motors give out back EMF, whereas electric generators produce induced EMF.
What is the difference between magnets and electromagnets?
A magnet exerts magnetic force when 'at rest', or when it is not acted upon by any other force. An electromagnet exerts magnetic force only when energized by electricity, and is normally constructed from a ferrite core wrapped by an electric coil.

How generator can be used as motor?
Generators and motors are very similar, both involve wires attached to armatures rotating between fixed magnets. With many motors, if you turn a motor, it acts as a generator, and if you force current through a generator, it starts acting as a motor. Of course, it is not that simple. Many motors use windings that use the current to power the 'field coils" (electromagnets making the magnetic field), which would have to be provided before the motor would generate current. Simple motors like you find in desk fans use one coil carrying AC to induce currents and therefore magnetism in the armature. Generators often use electromagnets to create the field, and the strength of those electromagnets is regulated to provide the required voltage. Both motors and generators use coil designs that are customised to the job that they are designed to do. So, theoretically, all you need to do to make a generator into a motor is connect a source of electric current to it. In practice, it's not that easy.
