Electric motor converts _.
Correct answer: A. Electric energy to mechanical energy
- A. Electric energy to mechanical energy
- B. Mechanical energy to electric energy
- C. Mechanical energy to potential energy
- D. Not enough information
Explanation
An electric motor transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy. 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. OPTIONS B, C & D are incorrect

About Electromagnetism
Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
