For some kinds of electric motors - not all kinds - the answer is yes.

It is hard to explain the reasons using very simple terms, but here goes:

Most small direct current electric motors that have stators which are made of permanent magnets can be made to generate direct current electricity when their rotors are turned at a fast enough speed by another engine, such as, for example, a car engine or a steam engine.

How do you turn a motor on and off?

To turn a motor on and off, you typically use a switch or relay connected to the motor's power supply. When the switch is closed, electricity flows to the motor, turning it on. Opening the switch interrupts the power supply, turning the motor off. For more complex applications, a microcontroller can be used to control the motor's operation through programmed instructions.
