Name one device which works on the magnetic effect of current.


The electric motor is a device which works on the magnetic effect of electric current. 

Explanation

An electric motor uses the magnetic effect of electric current. A motor operates on the principle that when a rectangular coil is placed in a magnetic field and current is passed through it, a force acts on the coil that rotates it continuously. When the coil rotates, the shaft attached to it also rotates. In this way, the electrical energy supplied to the motor is converted into mechanical energy of rotation.
