What are similar to motors except they convert mechanical energy to electrical energy?
Generators are similar to motors in that they both involve the conversion of energy, but generators convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, whereas motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy.
How do you convert thermal energy into electrical energy and are electrical energy and mechanical energy the same thing?
I don't know how to convert it, but I'll answer the second question.Mechanical energy is made from say...a Bike, the energy that makes it move and pulls it forward is considered mechanical energy. Electrical energy is made from a lightbulb, or anything that is electrical. So to answer that question..No, mechanical energy is not the same as electrical energy.Answer:Electrical Energy is consumed by, it is not made from a lightbulb or anything that is electrical... Steam (thermal energy) drives a turbine which drives a generator (mechanical energy) which produces electrical energy.No they are not the same thing aside from both being forms of energy.Electrical energy can be converted into mechanical energy such as plugging in your blender or vacuum cleaner and mechanical energy can be converted to electrical energy as mentioned in the example of the generator above.
In most forms of generation of electrical energy in power plants the last two steps are the same. What are they?
Electrical
What happens to the electrical energy when it passes through a household device such as a blender or a toaster?
When electrical energy passes through a household device like a blender or a toaster, it is converted into other forms of energy. In the case of a toaster, electrical energy is converted to heat to toast bread. In a blender, electrical energy is converted to mechanical energy to blend food.
What are the conversions of electrical energy give 5 examples?
-- An LED converts electrical energy to light energy. -- A coffee percolator converts electrical energy to heat energy. -- An old-fashioned light bulb converts electrical energy to light energy and heat energy, both at the same time. -- A loudspeaker or ear-bud converts electrical energy to sound energy. -- An electric motor converts electrical energy to kinetic energy. -- A radio transmitter converts electrical energy to low-frequency electromagnetic energy. -- A battery sitting in its charger converts electrical energy to chemical energy.

Are energy conversion devices and machines the same?
Energy conversion I would say means converting say thermal energy to mechanical, or mechanical to electrical, or other conversions you can think of. Now some machines do this, like electrical generators, or electric motors which is the same but in reverse. Other machines are just mechanical, like a gearbox for example, mechanical energy in and mechanical energy out. So the word machine is more general, energy conversion devices are a sub-set of machines.

Which energy changes takes place when a pedling cyclist uses a generator to light his bicycle lamp?
There are 2 energy changes that take place in this action: Mechanical to Light Energy and Mechanical to Electrical Energy. To explain further, when a generator, which uses mechanical energy, is used in turn to light up the bicycle lamp, the light emitted is light energy. At the same time, when the generator lights up the bicycle lamp, the lamp is light up using electrical energy, so mechanical energy also transformed into electrical energy. ===============================> heat and light (in the light bulb)

What is the relation between motor and generator?
Motors and Generators are Transducers which convert one form of energy to another form. Constructionally both are same. Theoretically, same machine can function as both motor and generator depending upon the input it recieves. If it is supplied with mechanical input it gives out electrical output (Generator). If it is given electrical input, it gives out mechanical output (Motor).

How does a generator differ from electric motor?
A dynamo generator and an electric motor are similar in construction, but work in opposite ways to one another, and have reciprocal purposes. Both contain a central shaft with affixed magnet(s) surrounded by a series of wound coils enclosed by an outer casing having two electrical leads, one live and one neutral. In a dynamo, an outside mechanical force such as the rotation of a cyclist's wheel spins the central shaft and magnets around. The magnetic force pushes and pulls electrons in the outer coils which creates an electric potential between the leads. In a motor, an electric current is fed to the leads which pushes and pulls electrons through the coils. The coils become negatively charged then positively charged, cycling back and forth to the opposing and attracting magnets. This drives the shaft in a circle to power an external mechanical device.
What energy transformations occur in a hairdryer?
Motor action occurs when electromagnetic energy (electricity) is converted into mechanical energy (rotation) by the fan motor. The fan then turns and air moves through the device. Electromagnetic energy (that same electricity) is also converted into thermal energy in the heating element, and from there the heat is transferred into the air as it passes by.
What energy changes in a telephone?
The voice from a person's mouth (air flow) vibrates a diaphram which translates the vibrations (mechanical energy) into electrical wave oscillations using an magnet and a coil. These electrical oscillations are superimposed on to a high frequency carrier wave and sent over physical wires, under sea cables, micro wave towers, satellites etc (purely electrical energy) and at the receiving end the carrier wave is removed and only the wave that was generated by the voice and hence the diaphram and hence the magnet and the coil is made to drive a coil over which is a diaphram which vibrates (mechanical energy) to reproduce the sound. Of late digital phones have come into the market but the basic principle is the same. Convert mechanical energy to electrical energy and then convert electrical energy to mechanical energy.
What is the difference between motor and generator in electrical machine?
A motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy and a generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.Longer answerThe 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.
