    Need help with Dynamo rule applied to coil and magnet:

    Hi, (I posted this on TSR as well, but they're being a bit slow...) Take the following setup: If you move the bar magnet left and right (a few cm) inside the coils, so that the ends do not leave the coil, will it induce a current/emf? I presume it does so, as I have been taught. But I don't...
