O Levels Physics (5054)•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
