(i) Dis-similarities between a d.c. motor and an a.c. generator are —
D.C. motor | A.C. generator |
---|---|
A d.c. motor is a device which converts the electrical energy into the mechanical energy. | A generator is a device which converts the mechanical energy into the electrical energy. |
A d.c. motor works on the principle of force acting on a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field. | A generator works on the principle of electromagnetic induction. |
(ii) Similarities between a d.c. motor and an a.c. generator are —
(i) Both in d.c. motor and an a.c. generator, a coil rotates in a magnetic field between the pole pieces of a powerful electromagnet.
(ii) Both in a d.c. motor and an a.c. generator, there is a transformation of energy from one form to the other form.
