A drive belt causes the inside part of the generator rotate.

An electric generator can be either a magnet (and magnetic field) rotating and surrounded by wires or a coiled wire rotating in a surrounding magnetic field. EIther way works to generate electricity.

The wire is where the electricity is generated. We use more wire to generate more electricity and we coil the wires to keep the size from getting too big.

The stronger the magnet, the more electricity is generated. Instead of using a real permanent magnet, we usually make an electromagnet (such as wires wrapped around iron) attached to a battery or powered off the electricity created by the generator.

In an automobile it is not called a generator. It is called an alternator because it generates alternating current electricity instead of direct current.
