If a permanent magnet is moved in a direction at right angles to the magnet field lines in the magnet, is an emf produced across the magnet?

I am having trouble understanding this. If the N machine is operated as a motor, it will start from a stationary position. Therefore, at the instant of starting, there is no rotary motion and everything is in the same frame of reference.
Motional induction is a phenomenon that occurs when a conductor moving through a magnetic field or a changing magnetic field induces an electromotive force (EMF) or voltage in the conductor. This is based on Faraday's law of induction which states that a changing magnetic field can induce an electric current in a conductor.
Motional induction works by the interaction between a magnetic field and a moving conductor. As the conductor moves through the magnetic field or the magnetic field changes, the lines of magnetic flux cut through the conductor, creating a change in the magnetic flux. This change in flux induces an EMF in the conductor, which can then drive an electric current.
Motional induction has many practical applications, such as in generators, motors, and transformers. Generators use motional induction to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, while motors use it to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. Transformers use motional induction to transfer electrical energy from one circuit to another.
Yes, motional induction is a key principle in generators, which are used to generate electricity. As a conductor is rotated in a magnetic field, the changing magnetic flux induces an EMF in the conductor, which can then drive an electric current. This process is used in power plants to generate electricity for our homes and businesses.
The amount of EMF induced in a conductor depends on several factors, including the strength of the magnetic field, the speed of the conductor, and the length of the conductor. The angle between the magnetic field and the direction of motion of the conductor also plays a role. Generally, a stronger magnetic field, higher speed, and longer conductor will result in a higher induced EMF.
