Motor
An electromechanical device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, operating primarily on the fundamental principles of electromagnetism, specifically Lorentz force and electromagnetic induction.
Importance in UPSCUPSC में महत्व
Essential for Science & Technology (GS-3: Applications of Science, Emerging Technologies, Energy Infrastructure, Electric Mobility, and Industrial Automation). Frequently tested in Prelims via core physics principles (Fleming's rules, induction) and application-based tech (BLDC motors, EV propulsion).
