All practical electromechanical energy conversion devices make use of the magnetic field rather than the electric field

[answerhappygod]

a) electric field systems present insulation difficulties
b) electric field systems have more dielectric loss than the magnetic loss, for the same power rating of the machine
c) in electric field systems, for normal electric field strength, the stored energy density is high
d) in magnetic field systems, for normal magnetic flux density, the stored energy density is high
