Yes, all motors are generators and all generators can be generators. Depending on the type of motor, some are easier to work with. If you mean the common induction motor, you can plug it in and it will run as a motor, now you need to mechanically drive it faster (if it is rated 1750 it wil need to be driven at atleast 1801 RPM and generated energy will begin to flow out as a generator) than the synchronous speed of the internal rotating magnetic field.

Can an electric motor be used as a generator?
yes
What is travel generator?
A self-contained motor/generator that can make electricity available whenever it is used.
What technology is used for hydroelectricity?
Gravity and an electrical motor (generator)
Why load angle is positive for generator and negative for motor?
simply put a motor consumes power and a generator produces it. reactance of a generator = - reactance of a motor
Where do flux density used?
In all transformers,Motor,Generator, Alternator,etc.........
Can a motor operate as generator?
Yes, by giving mechanical power to motor . It acts as a Generator.
Did Mike Faraday invent the generator and motor?
Mike Faraday did invent the generator and motor.
How does ac electric motor convert in to an alternator?
a motor is a generator and a generator is a motor, if you are applying a voltage to turn the rotor its a motor and if you are turning the rotor and taking the voltage off the terminals its a generator or alternator.
How do you identify a motor and a generator without operation?
a motor drives something a generator is driven by something
How do you convert a DC motor to a generator?
all the electrical machines can be run either as a motor or as a generator. but dc machines, A motor can be run as generator and vice versa with little modification
How electromagnets are used in real world?
Every electric motor and generator uses an electromagnet.
How are electromagnets used in the real world?
Every electric motor and generator uses an electromagnet.
