A device that uses a magnet to turn mechanical energy into electrical energy

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to charge your phone with a low battery when you're out and about. Just as you might use a portable charger to convert stored energy into power that revives your phone, a generator uses a magnet to transform mechanical energy into electrical energy. In this analogy, the portable charger represents the generator, the stored power is like the mechanical energy, and the act of charging your phone is akin to generating electricity, highlighting how each system converts one form of energy into another to solve a practical need.
