The diagram extends out of the page, a circular figure in the middle, and boxes and pipe-like drawings around it. Michael Faraday worked on the topic of electromagnetism, which would become the basis for electric motors. Faraday’s Experimental Researches in Electricity brought together ideas about supposedly different types of electricity, and provided the basis for research by future scientists.
