Johanna Romero · Answer 1

When a wire that carries electrical current is placed in a magnetic field the wire experiences a force.

Explanation:

The electric motor is a device which convert electrical energy into mechanical energy ie when current carrying conductor is placed in magnetic field it experience a force. Flemings left hand rule explains the direction of the current.

The electric motor works by attraction and repulsion of magnetic field.

So the option d explains basic concept of simple motor ie when when current carrying wire is placed in the magnetic field it experience magnetic repulsive force.
