Hello modifyman welcome to YT! This explanation will be garble to you at this point but this forum currently has 2 viewing platforms Classic and Modern I am going to link a document that I think should explain this very clearly. The mention of the viewing platforms has to do with whether this gets blocked or not because it is from another tractor forum. It is an International Harvester publication but since your JD uses a Delco electrical system as does IH it should all apply. A lot of the info is just basic electrical knowledge so it can be applied broadly to many things. The second thing I will link is a quite comprehensive generator system troubleshooting guide put together by another posting member here. Answering one of your final questions, yes using electromagnetism is essentially how the generator system works.
Edit to add: If by some weird chance you are viewing this in Classic View you will have to click the ..Modern View.. button in the upper right of the post view box to get the link to the IH publication.
