Since Electric Motors are not 100%, you could say that they produce "waste". I believe that the majority of that "waste" would be in the form of heat. Part of that heat is lost in the windings and is proportional to the square of the current, and part of it would be friction loss in the bearings. Electric motors are typically better than 90% efficient.

Why do electric motors make humming sound?

Electric motors produce a humming sound due to the vibrations created by the movement of the rotor. These vibrations can resonate through the motor housing and produce the audible hum. The frequency and intensity of the hum can vary depending on the design and components of the motor.


How does electrical energy produce a form of energy we use?

It can be run through a resistor to produce heat, as in a convector heater, tumble dryer, toaster. It can be used to run electric lights, and it can be used to drive electric motors that produce mechanical energy.

What are two ways that electric energy is converted to kinetic energy?

Electric energy can be converted to kinetic energy through the use of electric motors, which transform electrical energy into mechanical energy to produce motion. Another way is through electric trains, where electric energy is used to power the motors that move the train along the tracks.
