Electric motors change electric energy into motion. They do this by using some cool science with magnets and electricity. Let's break it down!

What Makes Up an Electric Motor?

1. Stator: This part stays still and creates a magnetic field.
2. Rotor: This part spins around and creates motion.
3. Power Supply: This gives electricity to the motor. Sometimes it uses direct current (DC) and other times it uses alternating current (AC).

How Does It Work?

• When electricity flows through the wires in the motor, it makes a magnetic field.
• This magnetic field works with the magnetic field from the stator, which creates torque, or turning force.
• It’s like a tug of war between two magnets, and it helps the rotor spin!

Why is This Important?
Electric motors are super efficient. Many modern motors can work at more than 90% efficiency. This means they waste very little energy.
They’re really important for many things in our lives, like home appliances and machines in factories.
In fact, the market for electric motors is expected to reach $130 billion by 2024 because they play such a big role in saving energy!
