"Motion causes constantly changing magnetic fields to induce electrical energy."

Explanation: In a generator you do mechanical work to move coils or magnets, changing the magnetic flux through the circuit. By Faraday's law that changing flux induces an emf/current (electrical energy). The process converts kinetic (mechanical) energy into electrical energy.
