| BASIS | MOTOR | GENERATOR |
|---|---|---|
| Function | The Motor converts Electrical energy into Mechanical Energy | The generator converts Mechanical energy to Electrical energy. |
| Electricity | It uses electricity. | It generates electricity |
| Driven element | The Shaft of the motor is driven by the magnetic force developed between armature and field. | The Shaft is attached to the rotor and is driven by mechanical force. |
| Current | In a motor, the current is to be supplied to the armature windings. | In the generator, the current is produced in the armature windings. |
| Rule Followed | Motor follows Fleming’s Left-hand rule. | The generator follows Fleming’s Right-hand rule. |
| Example | An electric car or bike is an example of an electric motor. | The energy in the form of electricity is generated at the power stations. |
