The correct answer is: Faraday's laws of electromagnetic induction

Electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electric energy.

When a coil moves in a magnetic field due to the flux change an emf is induced across the loop which is responsible for induced current in the coil. This basic idea is the working principle of an electric generator.
