What is Faraday's electric motor?
An electric motor converts electrical energy into physical movement.
Faraday's motor used magnets and wire to create electric energy.
To make it, he took a nail and around 100 loops of copper wire. In the middle of the nail he placed a hole and put a wooden spindle into that hole, he wrapped the nail in the copper wire and connected it to a battery.
He then took a horseshoe-shaped magnet and placed his copper wrapped nail in the middle of the horseshoe.
With this, he saw that the wooden spindle would turn.
This was because the two opposing poles of the magnet were working against one another creating energy!
This simple mechanism would eventually become the electric motor that works in many things used today, like computers, mobile phones and electric toothbrushes.
