Electric Motor Definition
An electric motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy using magnetic fields and electric currents.
Core Functioning
The main principle behind all electric motors is Faraday’s Law of induction, which describes how a force is generated from electrical and magnetic interactions.
Types of Electric Motors
DC Motors
Synchronous Motors
3 Phase Induction Motors (a type of induction motor)
Single Phase Induction Motors (a type of induction motor)
Other special, hyper-specific motors
