Most electric engines work on the principle of magnetic fields interacting with electric currents in a wire winding, which generates torque in the shaft of the motor, allowing the energy to be used by any number of machines attached to the other end of the shaft. Electric motors can be powered by either direct current (DC) sources like batteries or rectifiers; or by alternating current (AC) power sources, such as a power grid, generators, or inverters.
