==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
A '''motor''' is [[component]] in a [[circuit]] that spins when [[electricity]] flows through it.
===About Motors===
: A '''motor''' has a part that stays still and a part that spins around.
: The '''motor''' will get faster when the [[Electrical Current|electrical current]] increases.

===Meaning===
[[File:MotorSymbol.png|right|300px|thumb|The symbol for a [[motor]].]]
A '''motor''' is [[component]] in a [[circuit]] that spins when [[electricity]] flows through it.
===About Motors===
: In a '''motor''' [[Electrical Work|electrical work]] is done to move an [[object]] against a [[force]]. This may be lifting the [[object]] in which [[Electrical Work|electrical work]] [[Energy Transfer|transfers]] [[energy]] into the [[Gravitational Potential Energy Store|gravitational potential energy store]] or it may be [[accelerating]] an [[object]] [[Energy Transfer|transfers]] [[energy]] into the [[Kinetic Energy Store|kinetic energy store]].
: A [[motor]] can apply a greater [[force]] when the [[Electrical Current|electrical current]] increases.
===Energy Transfers===
====Accelerating====
: In a [[motor]] [[Work Done#Work Done by Electricity|electrical work]] can be done to [[accelerate]] an [[object]].
: While the [[object]] is [[accelerating]] [[energy]] is [[Energy Transfer|transferred]] into the [[Kinetic Energy Store|kinetic energy store]] of the [[object]].
: The [[motor]] also does [[Work Done#Work Done by Electricity|electrical work]] against [[friction]].
: [[Friction]] causes [[energy]] to be [[Energy Transfer|transferred]] into the [[Thermal Energy Store|thermal energy store]] of the [[motor]] and [[object]].
====Lifting====
: In a [[motor]] [[Work Done#Work Done by Electricity|electrical work]] can be done to lift an [[object]].
: While the [[object]] is being lifted [[energy]] is [[Energy Transfer|transferred]] into the [[Gravitational Potential Energy Store|gravitational potential energy store]] of the [[object]].
: The [[motor]] also does [[Work Done#Work Done by Electricity|electrical work]] against [[friction]].
: [[Friction]] causes [[energy]] to be [[Energy Transfer|transferred]] into the [[Thermal Energy Store|thermal energy store]] of the [[motor]] and [[object]].
