Electricity Generation
The electricity that humans buy is generated using many different methods. It doesn’t matter what fuels create the electricity that we use, lights shine, televisions play and air conditioners run in the same way.
Generators and motors are pretty much the same thing, it depends on whether electricity is going into the unit or coming out.
Generators produce electricity, something causes a shaft and armature to spin, electric current is generated
Motors use electricity.
Electricity comes in through wires attached to positive and negative terminals. The electric current causes the armature and shaft to spin
