Motor vs Generator
By Jazzlynn Kusch and Tyler Davalt
Motor
A machine powered by electricity that supplies motive power for a vehicle or for some other device with moving parts.
How a Motor Works:
An electrical current in a magnetic field experiences force. Pair of forces create torque.
Motor
Requires an electical current.
Examples of a Motor:
- An electric car has an electric motor. The energy stored in the car's batteries is converted into the rotation of the wheels.
- A food processor works on exactly the same principle. Electrical energy from the outlet is turned into rotation in the food processor, and if you attach blades to the part that turns, it can cut up your food.
Generator
A dynamo or similar machine for converting mechanical energy into electricity.
How a Generator works:
Flow of electric charges cam be induced by moving and eletrical conductor in a magnetic field.
Generator:
Requires an electrical current.
Examples of a Generator:
- Light bulbs (AC)- When you turn on a light bulb, electricity flows through the filament. As the filament heats up it produces light.
- Back up home generator (DC)-A dc generator is an electrical machine which converts mechanical energy into direct current electricity. This energy conversion is based on the principle of production of dynamically induced emf.
