After Davy and chemist William Hyde Wollaston unsuccessfully tried to build on Hans Christian Ørsted's discovery of the electromagnetic phenomena to harness the ability to create motion from electricity, Faraday was able to create his own device to create the first electric motor by applying electricity aligned along a magnet.
Setelah Davy dan kimiawan William Hyde Wollaston gagal meneruskan penemuan fenomena elektromagnet Hans Christian Ørsted untuk menghasilkan gaya gerak dari listrik, Faraday mampu menciptakan alatnya sendiri untuk menciptakan motor listrik pertama dengan mengalirkan listrik ke magnet.
