Name a device which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. State the principle on which it is based.
Step 1: Electrical Energy and Mechanical Energy.
Electrical energy is the energy produced by the movement of electrically charged particles.
Mechanical Energy is the energy required to do a work or the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy.
Step 2: Name the Device
The device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy is an Electric Motor.
An electric motor is a variety of prime mover for a mechanical system.
Step 3: Principle of Electric Motor.
When the electricity reaches the motor, it passes through coils of wire wrapped around a metal base.
When current flows over a wire, it creates a magnetic field that applies force clockwise.
