An electric motor is electric machinery that converts electrical energy supplied to it to mechanical energy.

It works on the principle of applying a magnetic field in electromagnetism.

A current-carrying loop is exposed to a magnetic field which results in torque.

The torque formed rotates the coil which is then followed by rotation of propellers as the current passes through the loop.

Explanation

An electric motor consist of a rotor- a moving part, commutator, brushes, axle, field-magnet, power supply and a stator- a part going around the rotor.

Answer:

An electric motor is a device that changes electrical energy into mechanical energy. This change occurs due to the interaction between the magnetic field of magnets and the magnetic field due to the  electric current in the  loop. The interaction between the two produces a torque that makes the loop rotate on a shaft.

What is the speed of a wave with a wavelength of 3 m and a frequency of .1Hz?
Yuri [45]
We know,
Speed = Frequency * Wavelength 
Speed = 3 * 0.1 m/s   [hertz = 1/sec.]
So, your final answer is 0.3 m/s

Hope this helps!!

Does distance from modem affect internet speed
7nadin3 [17]
It shouldn't, but to be honest, it kind of does.
The further you are away from the modem,
the less connectivity you have.
Because you can't connect really well, your internet slows down.

So... yes?
