Question
What is the principle of an electric motor?
✓
Answer
The principle of an electric motor is based on the magnetic effect of electric current. A current-carrying loop experiences a force and rotates when placed in a magnetic field. The direction of rotation of the loop is according to the Fleming's left-hand rule.
