Electrical Motors convert electrical energy into __________ energy.

• A. Kinetic Energy
• B. Mechanical
• C. Thermal Energy
• D. Chemical Energy

Answer: (B)

Electrical motors take electrical energy and turn it into mechanical energy—the energy that can perform work by turning a shaft and moving machinery. When a motor runs, it creates torque and rotational motion to drive pumps, fans, conveyors, and other loads. The energy behind that motion is mechanical energy, which includes the motion of parts (kinetic energy) and their position over time. Heat you might notice from losses is just waste energy and shows up as thermal energy, not the main output. Chemical energy would be the energy stored in chemicals, not what the motor delivers. So the best answer is mechanical energy.
