Magnetism is a force that is created by the movement of electrons within an atom or between atoms. It is a type of energy that can attract or repel other objects that have a magnetic field.
An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.
Electric motors work by using magnets to create a magnetic field which then interacts with the electric current to generate a force that causes the motor to rotate.
The electric current is supplied to the motor through conductors, usually copper wires, and is then transferred to the rotor, a set of magnets that rotate inside the motor.
When the rotor is turned, it creates a magnetic field that interacts with the magnetic field generated by the stator, a set of stationary magnets.
The interaction between the rotating magnetic field and the stator creates an opposing force, which causes the rotor to turn.
The rotation of the rotor creates mechanical energy, which is then used to drive machinery or to generate electricity.
