What is motor, Generator, transformer

Question

Accepted Answer

Motors, generators, and transformers are electrical devices used for power conversion and transmission.

Motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy to produce motion.
Generators convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.
Transformers are used to transfer electrical energy from one circuit to another through electromagnetic induction.
Transformers can step up or step down voltage levels.
Examples of motors include electric fans, washing machines, and electric cars.
Examples of generators include hydroelectric power plants and wind turbines.
Examples of transformers include power distribution transformers and audio transformers.

Accepted Answer

common application of magnetic force on current-carrying wires. Motors consist of loops of wire in a magnetic field. When current is passed through the loops, the magnetic field exerts a torque on the loops, which rotates a shaft. Electrical energy is converted to mechanical work in the process.
