This is the basis of generation in rotating machines. You can produce a current in a conductor by connecting opposite ends to the + and-poles of a battery, but don't try this with your car battery or you will burn out the conductor and produce a lot of heat. It is safer to use a small dry battery.
In a power plant generator, however, the conducting coils are stationary and it is the magnets that are turned. Also, the magnetic field in power plant generators is produced by electromagnets (instead of permanent magnets) with current supplied by an external power source.
