Hi, according to the rules here in Physics Forums, you must write your attempt on the problem and then the other members here can give you hints and guide you to the solution.

So, anyway to get you started, according to Faraday's Law of induction do we have an EMF produced in the coil? Assume that the magnetic field in the region between the poles is approximately homogeneous.
If there is no EMF produced, what about the current? Will it be zero?
