How does a electric generator work?

I need to know how an electric generator work. I know that you need coper and a magnet. You then need to move the magnet across from a distance of the coper coil to generate electricity. I need to know more details.

A moving magnetic lines of force, produced by a permanent magnet or by an electromagnet, cutting across a conductor produces an EMF in the conductor.


You have explained it basically yourself. To go into more detail on the theory of magnetic fields and how actually electron flow occurs is a massive subject.

I understand some of it but am still happy to accept that an electric current is produced when a wire passes through a magnetic field
