Name four appliances wherein an electric motor, a rotating device that converts electrical energy to mechanical energy, is used as an important component. In what respect motors are different from generators?

Answers (2)

Solution:
Electric motor is a device which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.
The current in the armature experiences force due to magnetic field and causes armature to rotate.
The electric motor is used in all such devices, in which we have to rotate any part of the device such as washing machine, electric fans, mixers and computer drives.

The electric generator uses the mechanical power to create electrical energy. Hence generators can be assumed as exactly opposite devices of electric motor
