Answer:

mechanical energy

Step-by-step explanation:

The electric motor is a device which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.

As the current pass through the armature coil of the motor, it experiences a force due to which it starts rotating.

The direction of force is given by the Fleming's left hand rule.
