S.NO.	Motor	Generator
1.	A motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.	A generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
2.	A motor uses electricity to produce motion.	A generator uses motion to produce electricity.
3.	A motor has a rotor that rotates to produce mechanical energy.	A generator has a rotor that rotates to produce electrical energy.
4.	A motor typically operates at a lower voltage and higher current.	A generator typically operates at a higher voltage and lower current.
5.	Motors are used in a wide range of applications, including powering electric vehicles, fans, and pumps.	Generators are used in applications such as power plants and backup power systems.
6.	The efficiency of a motor is typically measured in terms of power output and input.	The efficiency of a generator is typically measured in terms of electrical output and mechanical input.
