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.
Electric generators are devices that convert mechanical energy to electrical energy. They induce an electromotive force (EMF) by rotating a coil in a magnetic field. It is a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. A generator forces electric charge (usually carried by electrons) to flow through an external electrical circuit.
