A steam turbine/generator in a power station, a small gasoline powered generator, or a 12v alternator in your car driven by the engine.
Motor is device which converts electrical energy to mechanical energy,where as generator converts mechanical energy to electrical energy
electrical energy
Generators convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. When mechanical energy is applied to the generator, it causes a rotor to spin within a magnetic field, which induces an electrical current through electromagnetic induction. This process transforms the kinetic energy of movement into usable electrical power.
when electrical energy is supplied to the motor of an electric fan, some of the electrical energy is transferred to the fan blade as kinetic energy. The energy is also transformed from electrical to kinetic.
The mechanical energy of a turbine is primarily converted into electrical energy through the process of electromagnetic induction. As the turbine spins, it drives a generator, which transforms the rotational motion into electrical current. This electrical energy can then be distributed for various uses, such as powering homes, industries, and businesses. Additionally, some turbines may also convert mechanical energy into mechanical work for direct applications, such as pumping water.
Alternator
The device that converts electrical energy to mechanical energy is an electric motor. Electric motors are also used as generators in hybrid automobiles to convert mechanical energy back to electrical energy.
List of examples of energy conversions1. Electric Generator (Mechanical Energy into Electrical Energy)2. Electric Motor (Electrical Energy into Mechanical Energy)3. Steam Engine (Thermal Energy into Mechanical Energy)4. Diesel or Petrol Engine (Chemical Energy into Mechanical Energy)5. Stove (Chemical Energy into Thermal Energy)6. Electric Bulb (Electrical Energy into Thermal and Light Energy)7. Cellular Respiration (Chemical Energy into Thermal and Mechanical Energy)
Motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy to produce motion, while generators convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. In both cases, energy is changing from one form to another - from electrical to mechanical or vice versa.
Mechanical energy (e.g. kinetic energy of moving objects), thermal energy (e.g. heat), and radiant energy (e.g. light) are all non-examples of electrical energy.

Motors convert electrical energy to mechanical energy. Generators transfer mechanical energy to electrical energy.
Some examples of converting electrical energy to mechanical energy include electric motors in vehicles, fans, and power tools. When electricity flows through the motor, it generates a magnetic field that interacts with the motor's components to create mechanical motion.
Some examples include using a generator to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, a solar panel converting sunlight into electrical energy, and a light bulb transforming electrical energy into light and heat energy.
