Solution 1
Principle of Electric Motor:
An electric motor works on the principle that a current-carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field experiences a force.
Solution 2
The working principle of an electric motor is based on the magnetic effect of current. A current-carrying loop experiences a force and rotates when placed in a magnetic field. The direction of rotation of the loop is given by Fleming’s left-hand rule.
