What is the difference between an electric and a magnetic motor?

The main difference between an electric motor and a magnetic motor is that an electric motor uses electricity to produce motion, while a magnetic motor uses magnets to generate force. Electric motors are powered by direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC), whereas magnetic motors require no external power source other than the magnets themselves. Additionally, electric motors typically have brushes and commutators, which regulate electrical current flow in order to create motion, whereas magnetic motors use electronic control systems for this purpose.
