A device that uses a magnet to turn mechanical energy into electrical energy
Real World Example
Imagine trying to charge your phone while you're out and about and your battery is dying. Just as you might use a portable power bank to convert stored energy into a charge for your phone, a generator uses a magnet to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. In this analogy, the portable power bank represents the generator, storing and converting energy to make it usable, while your phone is like an electrical circuit that benefits from the energy conversion.
