Does an electric generator motion produces magnetism or power or electricity?

An electric generator produces electrical energy. It converts mechanical energy to electrical energy by interacting with a magnetic field. The amount of electrical energy converted to useful work in a given time interval is the power output. If the generator is not connected to any load, then no work is done and there is no power.
