1.) The statement is true! ... heat energy is also generated due to the presence of resistance in motor. Heat generated is given by, H=i²Rt (i = current, R is the resistance of the conductor and t is time). 2.) This statement is false because transformation takes place in electrical motor too due to presence of resistance. 3.) c. it is less than 100% efficient.
