In 1821, michael faraday invented the first electric motor. He publicly stated that if current had an effect on magnetism, then magnetism might have a corresponding effect on current. Faraday began to investigate the possibilities, but it would be ten years before the phenomena would be successfully demonstrated. In the early months of 1831, joseph henry would be the first to observe the phenomenon at. He did not publish his results because he was working in an american. College where teaching responsibilities came first and research second. He intended to publish his results in the summer months.
