Question

An electric motor uses___?

Question 4 options:

visible light to produce mechanical energy


mechanical energy to produce sound


mechanical energy to produce electricity


electrical energy to produce mechanical energy

Answer 1

D: electrical energy to produce mechanical energy

Step-by-step explanation:

An electric motor is a device that transforms electric energy into kinetic energy: the energy of MOTION (a type of mechanical energy)

When an electric current travels through the wires, an electromagnet is created. It then interacts with the permanant magnets on the outside, which causes the axle to ROTATE. (movement)
