In electrical motor :
- AHeat is converted into electrical energy
- BElectrical energy is converted into heat
- CElectrical energy is converted into mechanical energy
- DMechanical energy is converted into electrical energy
- ENone of the above/More than one of the above
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (c) Electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy
Explanation
An electric motor turns electrical energy into mechanical energy. A coil carrying current in a magnetic field feels a force and turns (Fleming's left-hand rule).
A generator (dynamo) does the reverse: it turns mechanical energy into electrical energy.
