Define motor
To continue, you need to understand what a motor is.
A motor is defined as a device that changes electricity or fuel into mechanical power, such as driving a spinning shaft.
In our case an electric motor is a device that changes electrical energy into mechanical power - usually driving a spinning shaft that turns, for example, a fan, an electric shaver, a washing machine drum and increasingly, the wheels of electric vehicles.
A useful mnemonic to remember this is:
Motors produce
Movement
Or more accurately
Motors produce
Mechanical power
Unlike
GEnErators produce
ElEctricity
