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.
When electric charges move in a wire, we say that an electric current flows in the wire. It's like the way a current of water flows in a river. For an electric current to flow, we need two things: something to make the electricity flow, such as a battery or power pack. a complete path for the current to flow in. This is called an electric circuit.
