Which property does not apply to a motor? A. It uses an electromagnet. B. The direction of current changes twice during the rota
tion of the coil. C. It converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. D. It converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. E. It uses an outside source of electrical c
D. It converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
Explanation:
Ok lets disregard the whole "oh yay physics explainations" and look at this with just a little common sense and use some elimination and logic.
C and D are pretty similar so just look at those two.
C. It converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.
D. It converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
Think about what a motor is in something like a fan. How is it powered? ELECTRICITY! So it must convert electricity to mechnical neergy so therefore D must be incorrect.
A motor converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. A current carrying coil is placed between electromagnets. A magnetic force is exerted on the coil which makes it rotate. The direction of current changes twice during the rotation of the coil. An outside source of electric current is used.
Thus, the wrong statement is D. It converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. It is the generator which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
