How does the pickup actually know what the magnets are picking up? And how does it send that to the amp?

Under each string is a little magnet wrapped in a coil of wire. All the coils are wired in parallel, each side of the circuit feeds the output jack.
The string alloy is paramagnetic. As the string vibrates in the magnetic field around the magnet, it changes the magnetic field a little. These changes are what the amplifier magnifies into glorious tone.
