What is the principle behind the operation of an electric motor?
Correct Answer: Lorentz force
- Step 1: Understand that an electric motor uses electricity to create motion.
- Step 2: Know that a conductor (like a wire) carries electric current.
- Step 3: Recognize that a magnetic field is created by magnets or electromagnets.
- Step 4: Learn about the Lorentz force, which is the force experienced by the conductor when it is in the magnetic field.
- Step 5: Realize that this force causes the conductor to move or rotate.
- Step 6: Understand that the rotation of the conductor is what creates mechanical motion in the motor.
