As I understand it electricity is the flow of delocalised electrons, so where do they come from in the first place?
In: Chemistry
Magnets in motion are capable of herding electrons through specific materials arranged in a specific way. Herding the electrons creates a potential difference, like lifting a heavy ball above your head. The faster/stronger the magnet is, the higher/heavier the ball. A generator then stores the energy and lets electrical devices “drop the heavy ball” to perform work.
