Electric motor

Explanation:

An electric motor is such a device which works on the principle of electro magnetism. When current is allowed to pass through the wire in the electric motor, it creates a magnetic field around the coil.

This magnetic field causes a force that pushes the magnets placed around the coil that moves or spins the magnets which results in the working of the motor. Thus in this way electric motor uses electromagnetism by using electricity in the coil to move the magnets which in turn does the useful work.
