An electric motor converts
Amechanical energy into electrical energy
Bheat energy into electrical energy
Celectrical energy into chemical energy
Delectrical energy into mechanical energy
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. electrical energy into mechanical energy
1. A motor uses the force on a current-carrying coil in a magnetic field to make it rotate.
2. So it converts **electrical energy into mechanical (rotational) energy**.
3. The reverse device is a generator.
