Most electrical power generation (except for solar) converts motion into electricity using a generator. The two required components for a generator are

a. a turbine and a source of electrons to move.

b. an armature free to spin and a permanent field magnet,

c. a coil of wire and a magnet in relative motion to induce an electric current.

d. two coils of wire connected by an iron core to create changing electric fields.

Most electrical power generation (except for solar) converts motion into electricity using a generator. The two required components for a generator are b. an armature free to spin and a permanent field magnet. The armature or rotor is the moving component in the generator that produces a rotating magnetic field.
