What is the difference between electricmotor and generator?
Here are the main differences between an electric motor and an electric generator: Functionality: Electric motors convert electrical energy into mechanical or kinetic energy, whereas electric generators convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Usage: Electric motors are used in fans, mixers, washing machines, and other household appliances, whereas electric generators are used as power backup during outages, in construction sites, mining areas, and agriculture. Fleming’s Rule: Electric motors follow Fleming’s left-hand rule, whereas electric generators follow Fleming’s right-hand rule. Principle: The working principle of a motor is based on the current-carrying conductor, whereas the working principle of a generator is based on electromagnetic induction. Current: In motors, the current has to be supplied to armature windings, whereas in generators, armature windings produce current. EMF: Electric motors give out back EMF, whereas electric generators produce induced EMF.
Are electric motors easier to maintain than gasoline motors?
Electric motors are generally easier and less expensive to maintain than gasoline motors for cars. Electric motors are more efficient and cleaner. There is a battery that needs to be replaced every three years, but there are no other spare parts.
Where can I find electric motors online?
One online store you can buy electric motors at is "ElectricMotors.com" They have a pretty good range of motors to choose from like jet pump, compressors, conveyors and pool motors.
Which jobs use electromagnets?
Probably the most important use is in the electric generator. They are used in metal detectors, and speakers. In generators they are used to generate a constant charge. In metal detectors they are used as a sensor; where the field is changed by metals in the ground. And in speakers they are used in a to and fro motion on a diaphragm to make sound.
Do electric train motors have gears and transmissions?
No, the electric train are gearless. They do not have have gears in their transmissions.
