An electric motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy through the principles of electromagnetism.
- When electric current flows through coils in the motor, it creates a magnetic field.
- This magnetic field interacts with the motor’s rotor, causing it to rotate and produce mechanical motion.
- Motors are broadly classified into AC motors (alternating current) and DC motors (direct current), each with subtypes like induction, synchronous, brushed, and brushless motors.
