Technically YES. But the source of power in Electric cars being DC through batteries, the motor must be DC and not AC.

Can an ac motor generate electricity?

An ac motor cannot generate electricity but its shaft can be coupled to that of certain devices like an alternator to in order to generate electricity.


What is the minimum speed of the 6v motor to produce electricity?

The minimum speed of 6v motor to produce electricity is 15 Mph.


Why will a dc motor produce v but not an ac motor?

Motors do not produce voltage, current, or power. They use them.they produce mechanical output.


What does an AC motor do?

An ac motor basically makes it easier electricity form.A man Named Nikola Tesla created Alternating Current. (AC) AC is the flow of electricity going back and fourth, unlike Direct Current. (DC) A man named Thomas Edison created Direct Current.


Is it diesel generators is DC or AC generators?

Most diesel generators are designed to produce alternating current (AC) electricity. However, there are some diesel generators that can also produce direct current (DC) electricity with the help of rectifiers or inverters.


Can a motor works as a generator?

since the physical construction of a DC motor and DC generator is the same,it can work either way.in other words,yes a DC motor can work as a DC generator(if you drive it by a primemover it will produce electricity).however its not possible with all AC motors.


What is induction motor?

Induction motor is an AC electric motor which uses electromagnetic induction to induce the electric current in the rotor to produce torque.


What form of electricity comes out of a Wave Generator?

It depends on how the generator is set up. Some will produce DC (Direct Current) and others will produce AC (Alternating Current). Where possible AC electricity will be produced as it runs through the grid without much loss of power.


Is an AC generator can use AC motor and vice verso?

Are you planning to build a perpetual motion machine in which the power generated by an AC generator is used to run an AC motor which is used to run the same AC generator which provides it with power? Because that won't work. Yes, you can use a motor to generate electricity, and you can use electricity to run a motor, but the process is not 100% efficient and if you try to make it a closed loop, it will run down fairly quickly. So, what do we actually do? We use fuel to run an AC generator, or we use waterfalls or wind, or some other energy source, and then we use the power to run our motor.


What is a device that uses the interaction between electricity and magnetism to produce motion?

Electric motor


What kind of electricity do dams create?

hydroelectric power They produce what is called 3-phase AC power.


Is a motor a insulator?

No, a motor is not an insulator. A motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to produce motion. An insulator is a material that does not conduct electricity.
