We did a neat little experiment today which created a motor out of a magnet, battery, and copper wire.
The magnet affects the electrical circuit created by the copper wire making the copper wire spin.
It is similar to the first motor created. The relationship between electricity and magnetism was first realised through an experiment which sent a current through some wire (which sat in mercury) around a magnet. The result was a wire that spun around a magnet.
Another experiment using similar concepts and equipment is the below train.
