O Levels Physics (5054)•5054/12/O/N/22
Question 33 from 5054/12/O/N/22

Explanation

Electrical to kinetic energy conversion

Steps:

  • Identify the target energy transformation: electrical to kinetic (motion).
  • Recall device functions: motors use electricity to produce mechanical motion.
  • Eliminate options that produce heat or light instead of motion.
  • Confirm motor as the device that directly converts electrical energy to kinetic energy via electromagnetic force.

Why D is correct:

  • An electric motor converts electrical energy to kinetic energy through the interaction of magnetic fields and current, following Lorentz's force law (F = q(v × B)).

Why the others are wrong:

  • A. Iron: A material, not a device; no energy conversion function.
  • B. Kettle: Converts electrical energy to thermal energy for heating water.
  • C. Lamp: Converts electrical energy to light (radiant) and some thermal energy.

Final answer: D
