Compare and contrast the AC generator and the DC electric motor?
Compare And Contrast Generator
D.c motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy while A.c generator coverts mechanical energy into electrical energy. D.C motor works on the principal of left hand rule while A.C generator works on the principle of faraday s law of electromagnet induction. Current carrying coil rotates b/w the poles of magnet.. A.c: simple coil rotates b/w the poles of the magnet
They are both electrical machines. They both rely on the principle of electromagnetic in induction. The both contain coils of wire magnets or electromagnets and they both have rotating parts. The AC generator will probably work as an AC motor and the DC motor will probably work as a DC generator. The AC generator will turn rotational energy into electrical energy with an alternating current (AC). That is, the current will vary in the shape of a sine wave above and below zero amps. The DC motor will turn electrical energy from a direct current (DC) source into rotational energy. The AC generator may generate more than one electrical phase. That is, it might work like more than one generator at a time.
