Electric motor
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
An electric motor changes electrical energy into mechanical movement. A dynamo or an electric generator does the reverse: it changes mechanical movement into electric energy. Most of the electric motors work by using the force of magnetism. But, an electric motor may work using different types of forces.
In 1821, Michael Faraday made the first electric motor. It worked using the force of magnetism.
