All about Electric Motors
An electric motor turns electrical energy into movement. Inside, electricity flows through coils of wire in a magnetic field, which pushes the coils and makes the motor spin. The spinning shaft can then move wheels, fans or drills.
Electric motors are found in fans, washing machines, toothbrushes and many cars. They are very efficient, which means they waste little energy as heat.
