What is the difference between a generator and a motor?



Question 18 options:

A generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy and a motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.


A generator converts electrical energy into mechanical energy and a motor converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.


A generator converts kinetic energy into mechanical energy and a motor converts mechanical energy into kinetic energy.



A generator converts potential energy into electrical energy and a motor converts electrical energy into potential energy.

Respuesta :

The main difference between the two is that the Motor is an electric device which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. The generator is vice versa of that motor. It converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

So it is A.

Brainliest please!

Answer:

A generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy and a motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.

Explanation:

The principle behind the working of generator is that when a conducting coil is rotated between magnetic field, an emf is induced in the coil and electricity is generated. Thus, mechanical energy is converted to electrical energy and Fleming's right hand rule is followed.

The principle behind working of motor is that when a current carrying coil is placed between the two magnets, the magnetic force rotates the coil. Here, the electrical energy is converted to mechanical energy. Fleming's left hand rule is followed.
