The electric motor was first developed in the 1830s, 30 years after the first battery. Interestingly the motor was developed before the first dynamo or generator.

When Were Electric Motors First Used: The Complete History

In September 1821, just a year after Ørsted''s discovery, Faraday built what is widely considered the world''s first electric motor. He called it an “electromagnetic rotor.” It was a pretty
