A generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy

 

In the generator, the mechanical energy that rotates the coil is converted into electrical energy

 

Whenever a conductor moves relative to magnetic field, voltage is induced in the conductor.

 

Note that the load current in turn creates a magnetic field that opposes the change in the flux of the coil, so the coil opposes the motion.

 

The higher current, the larger force must be applied to the armature to keep it from slowing down.

 

In the animation the coil is rotated by the hand crank. In practice, the mechanical energy is produced by turbines or engines called prime movers.
