MOTOR Meaning and Definition

  1. Motor (noun):

    A motor is a machine or engine that converts electrical or other energy into mechanical energy, which produces movement or motion. It is a device that is primarily used to generate power and enable various mechanical functions.

    Motors are commonly used in a wide range of applications, from powering automobiles and industrial machines to operating household appliances like washing machines and vacuum cleaners. They are designed to convert energy from one form to another, such as electrical energy into rotational motion.

    Electric motors, for example, typically consist of a stator and a rotor. The stator contains coils or windings that generate a magnetic field when electricity passes through them. Meanwhile, the rotor, typically made of conductive materials, is magnetized and interacts with the stator's field, thus producing rotational motion.

    Motors vary in types and sizes, ranging from small and portable ones found in handheld devices to large industrial motors used in heavy machinery. Other types of motors include combustion engines that operate using fossil fuels or renewable fuels like gasoline, diesel, or natural gas.

    Overall, motors play a crucial role in countless mechanical processes, providing power and facilitating movement in numerous technological applications across various industries.

  2. 1. Moving or causing motion. 2. Noting a nerve or its center through which or from which impulses travel which excite a muscle to contract.
