Electricity It uses electricity. It generates electricity
Driven element The Shaft of the motor is driven by the magnetic force developed between armature and field. The Shaft is attached to the rotor and is driven by mechanical force.
Current In a motor the current is to be supplied to the armature windings. In the generator current is produced in the armature windings.
