Permanent magnet motors have _____ efficiency than conventional field-wound motors.

A) higher
B) lower

Permanent Magnet Motors

Electric motors that utilize permanent magnets to generate the magnetic field within the motor, rather than an electrical coil.

Field-wound Motors

Electric motors where the magnetic field is generated by winding wire around a core to create electromagnets, typically adjustable for speed control.

Efficiency

The ratio of useful output of a system to its total input, often expressed as a percentage, indicating how well the system converts input energy into output work or desired form of energy.

  • Elucidate the transformation of electrical energy into mechanical energy and its reverse process.
  • Calculate and understand the effects of voltage, resistance, and magnetic fields on motor operation.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Permanent magnet motors typically have higher efficiency than conventional field-wound motors because they do not have the electrical losses associated with the field winding.
