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.
