Question

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

• A. Heat energy $\to$ Mechanical energy
• B. Electrical energy $\to$ Mechanical energy
• C. Electrical energy $\to$ Light energy
• D. Mechanical energy $\to$ Electrical energy

Answer 1

The correct option is B Electrical energy $\to$ Mechanical energy

An electric motor consists of an armature winding. The armature winding is surrounded by permanent magnets which generate magnetic field. When electric current is passed through the armature it starts to rotate. So, an electric motor converts the electrical energy into mechanical energy.
