The diagram shows an electric motor.

What happens within the motor when an electric current flows through the
loop of wire?

A. The loop becomes an electromagnet, which causes the loop to flip
and produce mechanical energy

B. An electric field produces mechanical energy, which causes the
loop to produce electrical energy.

C. A magnetic field causes the loop to flip, which causes the wire to
store chemical energy in the battery

D. The magnets conduct an electric current, which causes the loop to
produce and conduct electricity

The statement explains within the motor when an electric current flows through the loop of wire is "the loop becomes an electromagnet, which causes the loop to flip and produce mechanical energy."

What is an electric current?

A stream of charged particles, such as electrons or ions, travelling through an electrical conductor or space is known as an electric current. The current in a wire with electrons as charge carriers is a measurement of the amount of charge travelling through any point of the wire per unit of time.

A magnetic field is created along the axis of a wire loop by a current flowing through it.

Curling the fingers of the right hand in the direction of the current through the loop, the thumb then points in the direction of the magnetic field, reveals the direction of the field inside the loop.

Wire loops in a magnetic field are used in motors. The magnetic field exerts tension on the loops when current is passed through them, which rotates a shaft. In the process, electrical energy is transferred to mechanical work.

Hence the correct option is A.
