Electrical energy in the form of electric current passing in the vicinity of magnetic field would create a mechanical rotation in the coil. So conversion of electrical into magnetic energy. Magnetic interaction brings out mechanical energy

A generator of electricity works by moving conductors through a magnetic field, so the answer is yes, but you need a mechanical engine to drive it, so that is the source of the energy. Small generators can have a permanent magnetic field but for large ones the generator has an exciter which produces the magnetic field.

No - that is not what an electric motor does.

You put electric energy in and you get rotational mechanical energy out.

The magnets inside the motor are part of the process for converting electric energy into mechanical energy.

Hope this helps.

Yes. However, the mode of operation varies between designs (DC brushed vs stepper motors, for example), and one could say that some types rely on the specific movement more than others (train motors, for example, are constructed typically as magnetic followers). However, no matter the specifics of the design, the movement is always created by changes in the magnetic field, and that in turn creates changes in the magnetic field, so long as power is applied.

No. There is no such thing as magnetic energy.

Electric motors turn ELECTRICAL energy into mechanical energy (work).

How does a generator convert mechanical energy into electrical energy?

An electric generator is a device used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, Which is used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. The generator is based on the principle of "electromagnetic induction" discovered in 1831 by Michael Faraday, a British scientist. Faraday discovered that if an electric conductor, like a copper wire, is moved through a magnetic field, electric current will flow (be induced) in the conductor. So the mechanical energy of the moving wire is converted into the electric energy of the current that flows in the wire.


Can a magnetic field be used for propulsion?

Magnetic fields are used all the time for propulsion in electric motors, and they are also used in trackless trains as used at several airports. The basis is that a magnetic field exerts a mechanical force on a wire carrying an electric current. This is what links electric energy and mechanical energy. An engineer's job is to make the process as efficient as possible.


How is electric energy produced?

Usually it is produced from mechanical energy (movement), by a cable moving in a magnetic field. This will produce a voltage in the wire.
