Electric motor

Machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy

An electric motor is a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate Lorentz force in the form of torque applied on the motor's shaft. An electric generator is mechanically identical to an electric motor but operates inversely, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy.
