Question:

motor v/s generator?

whats the difference between an ac motor and an ac generator,especially in its architecture, if there r any?

Answer:

AC Motor converting Electrical Energy in to Mechanical Energy. But Generator Convert Mechanical Energy in Electrical Energy.
An a-c generator has a field winding, usually the rotor, which is energised by d-c from an exciter,and an a-c motor has either a wound rotor or a squirrel cage rotor.
