Question

What is an electric motor? Explain its operation.

Answer 1

(Straight out of Physics textbook)

Step-by-step explanation:

An electric motor is a slightly modified galvanometer. An electric motor current changes direction every time the coil makes a half revolution. Electric motors have greatly impacted the way of life. It made it possible to replace enormous human and animal toil by electric power all over the world.

Answer 2

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.

Electric motors work on the principal of the interaction between magnetic field electr-magnetism. A loop which is carrying the current is placed in a magnetic field. The loop will experience a torque. The torque starts rotating the coil and the propellers start to rotate when the current passes through the loop.
