A motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy and a generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
Longer answer
The primary difference between a motor and a generator is that one converts electrical energy into mechanical energy (that's the motor) and the other converts mechanical energy into electrical energy (that's the generator).
In some cases of direct current (DC) machines, but not alternating current (AC) machines, there is so little difference that a single device (it might be called a motor-generator) can be used as either a motor or a generator.
A superb example of this would be the motor-generator that is used in electric vehicles: when the vehicle is accelerated, the batteries supply power to the motor-generator and it acts as a motor, driving the wheels. When the brake is applied, the motor-generator shifts function and the vehicle's inertia is used by the motor-generator to generate electricity and put some energy back into the batteries. This slows the vehicle down. The one device (the motor-generator) is being used in either capacity. The "handle" often applied to electric vehicles with this feature is dynamic braking.
They alike because they both have stators and rotors they are different in that the generator is driven by mechanical device that rotates the rotor, the rotor cuts through magnetic force fields and electricity is generated. The motor is driven by an input of electricity into the stator and the rotor is forced to turn by reaction with magnetic force fields.
Generator will provides current to load ......... but motor will drawn current............... generator is based on Flemming right hand rule but motor is based on left hand rule.

You are probably thinking of an electrical generator.
How DC motor converted into DC generator?
Both dc generator & dc motor are the same and known dc machine.when we give an electrical supply to the dc machine a torque developed due to flux intraction & works as motor.but we used dc machine as a generator we rotate the rotor or prime mover by using external sourse.due to this the rotor conductors cut by the stationary magnetic field and electrical power is generated as per faradays law.Here the main difference is when we giving electrical energy to the rotor of dc machine produce torque(motor)but when we give the mechanical energy to rotor it produce electrical energy(generator)
What device produces electrical energy?
A generator, alternator, or dynamo is a (usually)rotating machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.This is the principle behind electrical generation with the windmill, hydroelectric generator, crank generator. Ocean wave generators take advantage of the vertical motion of rising and falling water to achieve the same effect.

What has a generator?
A Generator is electrical machine which produces electrical current and voltage..
What is the difference between transfermer and generator?
They are both classified as electrical machines. However a generator is a 'rotating' machine, whereas a transformer is a 'static' (i.e., has no moving parts) machine. A generator converts one form of energy into another (kinetic to electrical), whereas a transformer simply transfers the energy supplied to its primary circuit to its secondary circuit while either stepping up, or stepping down, the primary voltage.
What is the difference between an electrical appliance and a machine?
The machine can work by itself, but and electrical appliance needs somebody to manipulate it...like an iron for example.
What is the name of the machine in dams which convert mechanical energy into electrical energy?
Electrical generator.
Why is the synchronous machine called a reversible machine?
A synchronous machine is called a reversible machine because it can operate in both motor and generator modes. In motor mode, it converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to produce motion, while in generator mode, it converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. This ability to switch between modes makes it reversible.

What is a machine that uses an energy source to produce electricity?
A generator generates electricity. A simple generator consists of a magnetic field, relative motion between the conductor and magnetic field, and a conductor to carry electrical current to the load. Turbines drive the generators to create the necessary relative motion utilizing steam or water as the prime mover.
What machine called that changes energy of motion into electrical energy?
dynamo or generator
What is a machine that produces electricity by changing energy of motion into electrical energy?
