4. Commercial electric motors do not use ?

a soft iron core on which the coil is wound

a permanent magnet to rotate the armature

effectively large number of turns of conducting wire in the current carrying coil

an electromagnet to rotate the armature

Answer: a permanent magnet to rotate the armature

Explanation:

Using electromagnet, the magnetic field strength further increase by increasing the current. Hence it will enhance the power of electric.
