Solution

The correct option is D AC or DC motor
Working of an electric motor is based on the mechanical effect of electric current. A conductor carrying a current is placed in a magnetic field experiences a mechanical force. In the motor, when a current is passed through a rectangular coil of wire placed in a magnetic field, the coil rotates continuously.
