A device that uses an electric current to turn an axle
A
solenoid
B
electromagnet
C
galvanometer
D
electric motor
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An electric motor is a device that uses an electric current to turn an axle. An electric motor transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy. A simple electric motor has four parts: The commutator consists of two semicircular pieces of metal.

Detailed explanation-2: -4. Axle – The axle of an electric motor contains part of the main power source that provides the ability of direction of the motor. 5. Field Magnet – A field magnet provides a magnetic field that enables the inner coil wire within a motor to rotate.

Detailed explanation-3: -A contactor is a large relay, usually used to switch current to an electric motor or another high-power load.

Detailed explanation-4: -The basic idea of an electric motor is really simple: you put electricity into it at one end and an axle (metal rod) rotates at the other end giving you the power to drive a machine of some kind.

Detailed explanation-5: -A coil of wire becomes an electromagnet when current passes through it. The electromagnet interacts with a permanent magnet, causing the coil to spin. Voilà! You’ve created an electric motor.
