Question

An electric motor is a device that transforms:

  1. Mechanical energy into electrical energy
  2. Electrical energy into mechanical energy
  3. Kinetic energy into potential energy
  4. Electrical energy into Potential energy

hintHint:

  • Electric motors make mechanical energy through the interaction between magnetic fields.

The correct answer is: Electrical energy into mechanical energy


    • Electric motors make mechanical energy through the interaction between magnetic fields.
    • Motors consist of loops of wire in a magnetic field. When current is passed through the loops, the magnetic field exerts a torque on the loops, which rotates a shaft. Electrical energy is converted to mechanical work in the process
    • Electric motor is a device which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.
