What flows through a circuit and causes a magnetic field?

An electric current flowing through a circuit causes a magnetic field. This is due to the movement of electric charges, usually electrons, in the circuit. The magnetic field produced is perpendicular to the direction of the current flow.

What is a magnetic field will be produced at some point in space if the electric field at the point?

As far as the electric field is stationary then no magnetic field. But when electric field is moving at a uniform speed then a magnetic field will be produced. This is what we call Lorentz magnetic field.


How do generators produced electricity?

Wire is wrapped around a core. This is rotated inside a magnetic field so it alternates the direction of the flow of electrons. This causes the electric current.
