Solution

The efficiency of an electric motor:

  1. A mechanical mechanism that transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy is called an electric motor. Most electric motors operate by combining the magnetic field and the electric current together in wire winding to generate force in the form of torque transferred to the motor's shaft.
  2. Electric motors outperform the internal combustion engine used in various industrial sectors. They are often more than 95% efficient, but ICEs are much less than 50%efficient.
  3. Energy is wasted as heat

Therefore, the efficiency of the electric motor is always less than 100%.
