Question

directions: answer the following questions on the lines provided. 6. what is the function of an electric motor in terms of electric power and motion? it change electric energy to kinetic energy 7. briefly explain how an electric motor works. 8. what is the function of an electric generator in terms of electric power and motion?

Explanation:

An electric motor works based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When an electric current passes through a coil placed in a magnetic field, a force acts on the coil, causing it to rotate. This converts electrical energy into mechanical (kinetic) energy.

Answer:

An electric motor contains a coil of wire in a magnetic field. When an electric current flows through the coil, it experiences a magnetic - force due to the interaction between the magnetic field and the current - carrying conductor. According to the Lorentz force law, this force causes the coil to rotate, thus converting electrical energy into kinetic energy.
