Solution

The correct option is B
electrical to mechanical

An electric 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. Therefore, an electric motor is a device which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. These motors are used to work equipment's like pump, compressor, fan, etc.
