What is Electric Motor?

According to Oxford dictionary, electric motor is a machine, especially one powered by electricity or internal combustion, that supplies motive power for a vehicle or for another device with moving parts: It gets a boost from electric motors to propel the vehicle at low speeds, when the engine is least efficient.
