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.
The rotor or the field coils in a generator produce the magnetic flux that is essential to the production of the electric power. The rotor is a rotating electromagnet that requires a DC ( Direct Current) electric power source to excite the magnetic field. This power comes from an exciter.
