Electric motors work by placing the opposite poles of an electromagnet that is fixed onto a spindle or axle near to either end of a fixed magnet. This causes the moving electromagnet to spin slightly then come to a halt. If, at the correct time, the battery or other source of current feeding the electromagnet is flipped - thus reversing the polarity - it will complete another slight spin in the same direction. The repitition of this action provides the movement required to make the spindle of the motor rotate.

What makes a motor turn is based on the fact that magnetic fields produce physical force that can move things. If you have ever played with magnets you have seen this in action as you use one magnet to attract another magnet or force it to move without touching it, depending on how you line up their poles.
All magnets have a north pole and a south pole. Like poles repel each other and unlike poles attract each other.
So, in a motor, electricity is used to create magnetic fields that oppose each other and cause something to move, which happens to the motor's rotating part, called the "rotor".
On the rotor there are loops of wiring - called "windings" - that have an opposing magnetic field to a magnetic field produced in the housing of the motor that does not move, which is called the "stator". Its magnetic field is produced either, in the case of a very small motors, by permanent magnets or, for most other sizes of electric motor, by loops of wiring called"field windings".
It is the repelling action of the opposing magnetic fields which causes the rotor to turn inside the stator.
In heavy electric motors having field windings, big problems can arise from excessive heat buildup - including a high risk of the motor's windings and/or its power input cables catching on fire - if something ever prevents the rotor from turning whilst it is still being supplied with electricity. If properly-sized circuit breakers are not installed to give the motor adequate overcurrent protection, any general overloading of the motor or siezed rotor shaft bearings can easily cause such problems.

Electric motors convert electrical energy to mechanical energy.
Inside the cover of any electric motor there are 2 kinds of magnets:
On some kinds of electric motors the stator can be a permanent magnet and on others it can be an electromagnet.
The rotor is always an electro-magnet and when you give it electricity, its copper coils make its metal pieces (which are in the middle of the coils) magnetic.
when the electricity flows into the coils of an electromagnet, it forces a piece of metal that is also magnetic to move in alignment to the magnetic field created by the electromagnet. At this point, the piece of metal stops moving because it is aligned. So, by switching the flow of electrons into the electromagnet, the piece of metal would continue along its path, if the switch of the electron flow is timed correctly.
The electric motor changes electric energy into mechanical energy.
A motor uses electricity and a magnetic field to provide mechanical energy.
In most machines it does so by manipulating magnetic forces; it can also do so through electrostatic attraction

Many chemicals are needed. Electricity and raid are typically neither.
A 2-stroke engine is a type of internal combustion engine, and a generator is something that turns a motion into electricity.
Not sure if there is a book about it, but lots of fruit can make electricity. Citrus fruits like lemons and oranges tend to work well, but potatoes can do it too.

There is no such thing as "atomic electricity." Electricity is the accumulation or the motion of electrons.
No. A turbine turns linear motion of a working fluid (which can be a liquid or gas) into rotational motion. No electricity need be involved.You can hook a turbine to a generator and use the rotational motion produced by the turbine to make electricity. But the turbine itself does not do this.
Current.
no, the force that causes motion is called inertia, while yes voltage is needed to make things work, it is also a unit of measurement for electricity.

Well, electricity and magnetism are not the same. Electricity is the movement of free electrons in a material, while magnetism is a field in space that has direction and magnitude. In fact, you can create electricity with magnetism and motion. and you can make magnetism with electricity and motion. And for your knowledge you can create motion with electricity and magnetism. It is a law of nature, like gravity.
Electricity is an energy that can make changes in matter, and create light, heat, or motion. It is made when fossil fuels are burned at a power plant and he pressure builds up with the smoke and it makes a turbine spin, that turbine then uses other materials such as magnets to make electricity from there.
