Solution

The correct option is D

heating effect of current


An electric motor utilizes the magnetic effect of current. A motor works on the principle that when a rectangular coil is placed in a magnetic field and current is passed through it, a force acts on the coil which rotates it continuously. When the coil rotates, the shaft attached to it also rotates. In this way, the electrical energy supplied to the motor is converted into the mechanical energy of rotation
