15.

The electric motor is the electric machine within the ceiling fan that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.

 I. The ceiling fan capacitor torques up the electric motor, allowing it to start and run.

 II. An electrical current reaches the motor and then enters coils of wire that are wrapped around a metal base.

 III. A magnetic field is caused that expends force in a clockwise motion that actually changes the electric energy into mechanical energy.

 IV. This action causes the motor coils to spin. As the coils are spinning, the fan captures this spinning motion, transferring it to the fan blades.

a)

I, II, III, IV

b)

IV, III, II, I

c)

I, IV, III, II

d)

IV, I, II, III
