Generators tend to move the coild while alternators tend to move the magnets. Those are the only two choices you have to make power. The disadvantage of moving the wires (or coild) is that you really need brushes that wear.

How are moving electric charges related to electric and magnetic fields?
Moving electric charges create electromagnetic fields.
Electromagnetic Induction states that moving a magnet through a loop of wire creates what?
Electric current
Producing an electric current by moving a bar magnet in and out of a coil of wire is called?
Electromagnetic induction.
Motion magnetism and a conductor will create what?
Moving a conductor (a wire) in a magnetic field will create voltage in the wire. Note that relative motion must occur, i.e., the wire must move "across" the magnetic lines of force, and not "along" them to create voltage. Moving a conductor in a magnetic field is the basic idea behind motors and generators.
Process of producing an electric current in a loop of wire by either moving a magnet through the loop or moving the loop through the magnet?
This process is known as Electromagnetic Induction first observed by Michael Faraday.
How are moving electric charges related to electric and magnetic fields?
Moving electric charges create electromagnetic fields.
What theory does the moving magnet work to produce current?
Faraday's Theory of Electromagnetic Induction.
Electromagnetic Induction states that moving a magnet through a loop of wire creates what?
Electric current
Producing an electric current by moving a bar magnet in and out of a coil of wire is called?
Electromagnetic induction.
Where do electric generators direct the current they induce?
An electric generator generates the current by moving a coil of wire through a magnetic field. This is normally in the inner mechanisms of the device.

Note that relative motion must occur, i.e., the wire must move "across" the magnetic lines of force, and not "along" them to create voltage. Moving a conductor in a magnetic field is the basic idea behind motors and generators.
How do generator work?
Generators work by changing mechanical energy to electrical energy. It can be done by spinning an armature (one of the electrical components of a motor that contains conductors) through a magnetic field. Generators are based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. This electromagnetic effect induces voltage and current in the moving conductors.
How is electromagnetic induction similar to your own life?
People have to threaten me by brandishing things at me before I get a move on. (In electromagnetic induction, moving a magnet near current-carrying wire produces an EMF.)
Moving a wire through a magnetic field does not create a current flow in a wire?
Not true - Moving a wire through a magnetic field doescreate a current flow in a wire.false
Can an electric current be produced by magnetism?
Yes, a moving electric charge creates a magnetic field
Does all moving charges generate electromagnetic waves?
No, consider a coil of wire conducting a constant current. There will be a static magnetic field around it, but no electromagnetic waves with E X H = P
What do moving electrical charges create?
-- Electric charge that's moving is the definition of electric current.-- It creates a magnetic field in its neighborhood.
