The magnets in a generator create an electromotive force which makes the free electrons in an atom move to another atom and displace its electron. This bumping action is electron flow. The electromotive force is measured in volts. The electron flow is measured in amperes. The resistance of the conductor is measured in ohms. These 3 components intertwine directly with each other according to Ohm's Law. E=IR; where E represents electromotive force in volts, I represents electron flow in amperes or amps, and R represents resistance to electron flow in ohm's, For an example: 120V=10A*12 ohms (ohms is represented by a symbol not available to my computer) The bumping action of electrons is how electricity transports the energy expended at the generator through the magnetic forces acting upon a wire or conductor.

Electricity is transport of electrons from one pole to the other (positive to negative outside the source like a battery) and the movement of electrons produces an electric current which can be converted into heat, light and motion (electric motors) etc. The conduction is carried out using transmission towers, cables and substations where the voltage is stepped down as needed.

Electrons (eletricity) are trnsported, through conductors, due to an attraction to an opposite charge. this called current.
How strong the current is is called voltage.
