A ‘fun physics’ video of a homopolar motor amusing a cat has taken the internet by storm. While taking to Twitter, World of Engineering shared the video of a DIY homopolar motor. In the video, one can see a person placing conducting wire on an AA battery after which the wire starts moving in a circular motion. In the 19-second video, once also see the little homopolar motor leaving a cat amused as that furry animal can not stop looking at the motor.
Physics fun

Ah... I had to watch it a few times before I saw the wire connecting the top of the battery with the magnet on the bottom to complete the circuit.

I bet the cat has something to do with this phenomenon. I tried the same but with my dog and it didn't work.

A homopolar motor is driven by Lorentz force. When one places an electrified conductor in a magnetic field that runs perpendicular to it, it generates torque and moves the conductor. It is the first electric motor and its operation was demonstrated back in 1821 at the Royal Institution in London.
