<^Electric Motors> A motor makes things move. Anything that moves has a form of energy called mechanical energy. You have mechanical energy just by jumping up and down.
How does an electric motor make something move? In a word: Electricity. It changes electric energy into mechanical energy. Electric current flows through <#5970,20><!coils> inside the motor. This creates a magnetic force. The magnetic force pulls on parts of the motor, causing them to turn. These parts then make other parts of a machine move.
Electric motors power electric drills, vacuum cleaners, sewing machines, dishwashers, tractors, factory machines, and more.
