People often use the word motor to describe the engine in their car, but the term usually refers to electric motors. The development of these devices revolutionized society and helped pulled the world into the modern technological era. The axle holds the armature and the commutator.
Coils of wire are wrapped around the armature, forming one or . In an electric motor , the moving part is the rotor, which turns the shaft to deliver the mechanical power.

The rotor usually has conductors laid into it that carry currents, which interact with the magnetic field of the stator to generate the forces that turn the shaft.

However, some rotors carry permanent magnets, and the stator .

An AC Motor converts electric energy into mechanical energy. The stator is in the stationary. There are many kinds of electric motors but in general they have some similar parts.
