An electric motor is an electric machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. An electric motor uses magnetism and electric current to operate. There are two basic categories of electric motor namely - AC Motor and DC Motor An electric motor is made up of two major parts namely- 1. Rotor - The rotating part of the motor. The shaft is connected to this part for rotation 2. Stator - The stationary part of the motor. The stator can be constructed of permanent magnet or an electromagnet(such as turns of conductor carrying current) The following diagram depict the major type of electric motor we have Magnetism Magnetism field can be derived from two different source such as -           -   Permanent Magnet and          -   Electromagnet Magnetism is the force that creates rotation for a motor  to operate. Recall that a  permanent magnet will attract and hold magnetic materials such as iron and steel when such objects are near or  in contact with the mag
