Electric motors convert electrical energy into mechanical power by using magnetic fields to create torque. There are different types of electric motors that can operate using either direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC). Electric motors are commonly used in industrial and commercial applications as well as smaller domestic devices. The most widely used type of electric motor is the magnetic motor, which generates torque by establishing a magnetic field between a rotor and stator. Proper motor selection depends on factors like the torque and power requirements of the application.
