Final answer:
Electronic clippers are often powered by an electric motor, which converts electrical energy to mechanical energy to operate the clippers.
Step-by-step explanation:
Electronic clippers are driven by a rotary motor, magnetic motor, or an electric motor. The correct answer to the choices given is (1) Electric motor. Electric motors are devices that convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, not diesel or solar energy. They work by using loops of wire within a magnetic field.
When an electric current passes through these loops, a magnetic force is exerted causing torque that rotates a shaft, thereby transforming electrical energy into mechanical work.
