How are electric generators and motors not similar?
Best answer:
Answer by Will-find-success-easy
Well, if you put power into an electric generater then it would turn just as a motor does. They're the same thing only in reverse...... 'they are but different manifestations of the same thing' to quote Einstein.

Depends on what type of motor you are referring to. If you are referring to an AC motor or generator, a synchronous motor and a generator are essentially identical in physical construction, with the only difference being how you use them. Other types of motors will not be. An induction motor, for example, offers no way to excite the field if you were to use it as a generator because there is no connection point to the squirrel cage windings in the induction motor. A servo motor would be possible, but you would not be able to control the voltage if you used it as a generator because the field flux is fixed. A DC motor and generator may be identical if the DC motor has a stator winding. But if the stator is a permanent magnet, as stated before, the field is fixed, and there would be no method of controlling voltage.
