Hey dear,

here is your answer,

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An electric generator is a device that converts  mechanical energy obtained from an external source into electrical  energy as the output.

It is important to understand that a  generator does not actually create electrical energy. Instead, it uses  the mechanical energy supplied to it to force the movement of electric  charges present in the wire of its windings through an external electric  circuit. This flow of electric charges constitutes the output electric  current supplied by the generator. This mechanism can be understood by  considering the generator to be analogous to a water pump, which causes  the flow of water but does not actually create the water flowing  through it.

The modern-day generator works on the principle of  electromagnetic induction discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831-32.  Faraday discovered that the above flow of electric charges could be  induced by moving an electrical conductor, such as a wire that contains  electric charges, in a magnetic field. This movement creates a voltage  difference between the two ends of the wire or electrical conductor,  which in turn causes the electric charges to flow, thus generating  electric current.
