Question

What type of device uses an electromagnet to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy?

Answer 1

A motor uses an electromagnet to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is "motor".

Explanation:

Electric motor: It is the device which converts the electrical energy into the mechanical energy.

When the current is flowing through the wire then there will be magnetic field around the wire.

Both magnetic field and the electric field are applied in the motor. So, there will be electric force and the magnetic force.

Electricity can be used to move magnet. The electric motor uses electricity in this way. It generates the magnetic field with the electric current flowing through the coil. This magnetic field helps in moving the magnet that runs the motor.

Therefore, motor is a device which uses an electromagnet to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy.
