A device which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy is: Correct Answer Electric motor

The correct answer is Electric motor.

Key Points

  • An electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.
  • Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of torque applied on the motor's shaft.

Additional Information

  • A simple motor has the following parts:
    • Power supply: DC for a simple motor.
    • Field Magnet: Could be a permanent magnet or an electromagnet
    • Commutator: It is the rotating interface of the armature coil with a stationary circuit.
    • Field Magnet: The magnetic field helps to produce a torque on the rotating armature coil by virtue of Fleming’s left-hand rule.
    • Armature Core: Holds the armature coil in place and provides mechanical support.
    • Armature Coil: It helps the motor to run.
    • Brushes: It is a device that conducts current between stationary wires and moving parts, most commonly the rotating shaft.
  • Uses of an Electric Motor
    • Drill machine, Water Pumps, Hard Disc Drives, Washing Machines, Industrial Equipment, etc.

The human eye is a complex part of the body that is used for seeing. Eyes enable people to perform daily tasks and to learn about the world that surrounds them. Sight, or vision, is a rapidly occurring process that involves continuous interaction between the eye, the nervous system, and the brain. When someone looks at an object, what he really sees is the light reflected from the object. This reflected light passes through the lens and falls on the retina of the eye. Here the light induces nerve impulses that travel through the optic nerve to the brain and then over other nerves to muscles and glands.
The eye is similar to a television camera. Both the eye and the television camera convert light energy to electrical energy. The eye converts light to nerve impulses that are interpreted by the brain as the sense perception called sight. A television camera converts light to electronic signals that are broadcast and transformed into light images in a television receiver. It is wonderful that human eyes blink an average of once every six seconds. This washes the eye with the salty secretion from the tear or lachrymal glands. Each tear gland is about the size and shape of an almond. These glands are situated behind the upper eyelid at the outer corner of the eye. After passing over the eye, the liquid from the gland is drained into the nose through the tear duct at the inner corner of the eye. The sense perception that the brain releases after the eye converts light to nerve impulses is known as
