Question

Which among the following energy conversion takes place in an electric motor?

• A. $Heatenergy\to Mechanicalenergy$
• B. $Electricalenergy\to Mechanicalenergy$
• C. $Electricalenergy\to Lightenergy$
• D. $Mechanicalenergy\to Electricalenergy$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$Electricalenergy\to Mechanicalenergy$

The electric motor usually consists of copper wires that wound around a core surrounded by the magnets. When electrical energy is passed from these copper wires they start to rotate. So, electric motor converts the electrical energy into mechanical energy.
