States that a change in magnetic flux generates an electromotive force (EMF). A change in magnetic flux can be made mechanically  and an EMF gives a current. Hence mechanical work can be converted into an electric current. Therefore, the law is the principle behind the electric generator.
States that a change in magnetic flux generates an electromotive force (EMF); changes in magnetic flux can be made mechanically  and an EMF induces a current; hence the law shows that mechanical work can be converted into electric currents.

A definition or brief description of Faraday's law (electromagnetism).

States that a change in magnetic flux generates an electromotive force (EMF); changes in magnetic flux can be made mechanically and an EMF induces a current; hence the law shows that mechanical work can be converted into electric currents.
