Four common appliances that utilize electric motors include electric fans, washing machines, mixers/grinders, and electric drills. A motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, while a generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
Appliances with Electric Motors:
Electric Fans: Motors rotate the fan blades to create airflow.
Washing Machines: Motors power the drum rotation during the wash and spin cycles.
Mixers/Grinders: Motors rotate the blades or beaters to mix or grind food.
Electric Drills: Motors power the drill’s rotation and can be used for drilling, sanding, or other tasks.
