How do electric motors convert electrical energy into mechanical motion?

Electric motors turn electricity into movement by using magnets and wires to make things spin.

Imagine you have a toy car that runs on batteries. Inside that toy car is something like an electric motor, it’s what makes the wheels go round. Let’s break it down:

Electric motors use electricity, which flows through wires like water flowing through pipes. When electricity moves through a wire, it creates a magnet around that wire. If you have another magnet nearby, maybe one that doesn’t move, the two magnets will push or pull each other.

Now imagine those wires are wrapped in a loop, and there's a magnet next to them. As electricity flows through the loop, the loop turns, just like how a toy car wheel turns when you press the button!

Inside many motors, there’s a part called a rotor, it spins around. The rotor has wires wrapped around it, and as electricity flows in and out of those wires, it creates a magnetic push or pull. That pushes the rotor to turn, like how a swing moves when you push it.

So electric motors use electricity, magnets, and spinning parts to make things move, just like your toy car!
