Best Answer

A wire moving in a magnetic fields creates electric current.

Moving a coil of wire into a magnetic field creates a voltage across the ends of the coil. The voltage equals the number of turns times the rate of change of magnetic flux.

If a resistor is placed across the coil and it is moved into the field again, current flows in the resistor, creating energy in the form of heat. At the same time a force will be needed to push the coil into the field, thus providing the mechanical energy for this process.

Electrical engineers have to understand how to make the process as efficient as possible.

Motors come in different forms but mainly internal combustion (gasoline and diesel) and electric. Combustion engines use the chemical energy in the fuel, electric motors use electric energy from a power plant.


Why electricfan is an mechanical energy?

An electric fan is not "an mechanical energy". An electric fan converts electrical energy into mechanical energy (the movement of the fan blades, and hence, the movement of the air).


What is an example of an energy matter interaction?

an interaction is when you play an instrument. your mechanical energy can be turned into sound energy when you play. another one is when you use electric energy to power a fan or bulb. the electric energy will turn to heat and light.(this is for the bulb)
