alleryAn ELECTRIC MOTOR primarily converts:
AMechanical energy into electrical battery energy
BHeat energy into mechanical rotational energy
CElectrical energy into mechanical rotation energy
DSound energy into electrical signal energy
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Electrical energy into mechanical rotation energy
An electric motor uses the force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field (Fleming's LHR) to produce rotation.
The split-ring commutator reverses current every half-rotation to maintain unidirectional rotation.
