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.
