electric motors
Current-driven spinning machines
Electric motors are machines that convert electrical energy into mechanical motion.
They power everything from household appliances to industrial equipment to electric vehicles.
The basic principle involves electromagnetic fields creating rotational force.
Motors come in many types—AC, DC, brushless, stepper—each suited to different applications.
