Light travels exclusively through space or along optical fibres by the mechanism of electromagnetic propagation. Electrical energy can also do that, in which case it is called microwave radiation or radio waves, but it can also be carried on wires.

What is the difference between a electric motor and a generator?

the difference between a electric motor and a generator.Motor- is a device or equipment which convert electrical energy to mechanical energy.Generator- is a device or equipment which convert mechanical energy to electrical energy.


What is the difference between energy conversion that takes place in an electric motor with the conversion that takes place in a generator?

In an electric motor, electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy to produce motion. In a generator, mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy by rotating a coil within a magnetic field. Essentially, electric motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, while generators convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.


What is the difference between DC motors and DC generator?

A generator turns mechanical (or other) energy into electricity. A motor does the exact opposite, turning electrical energy into mechanical energy (e.g. motion).


What is difference between generator and oscillator?

What are similarities and dissimilarities between a motor and an electric generator?

An electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. While an electrical generator does the opposite.


The conversion of electrical energy in to mechanical energy?

Motors convert electrical energy to mechanical energy. Generators transfer mechanical energy to electrical energy.


What are the difference between dynamo and motor?

A dynamo takes in motion and outputs electricity and a motor takes in electricity and outputs motion. A dynamo converts mechanical energy to electric energy while a motor converts electrical energy to mechanical energy.


What is the difference between a DC motor and a DC generator Why can't you use a DC motor as DC generator?

A DC motor converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. The converted energy is provided to a mechanical load.A DC generator converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. The converted energy is provided to the electrical load (voltage, current referring load).A DC motor can be used as a DC generator and vice-versa.


Which electrical device changes electrical energy into mechanical energy?

The motor changes electrical energy into mechanical (torque) energy.


Is a windmill electrical to thermal or electrical to mechanical or chemical to thermal?

Assuming that you're talking about a wind-powered electrical generator (such as a "wind farm"), the energy conversion is from mechanical to electrical. When the wind blows on the blades of the mill it rotates them, creating mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is used to power the electrical generator inside the mill, creating electrical energy out of mechanical energy.
