What would happen if a coil it’s exposed to a moving magnetic field with only north poles? Coils being exposed to only North Pole. Will produce alternate current or nothing?

What is a "magnetic field with only north poles" ? Sounds like a unicorn to me.

You did not answer my question. Again, what is a "magnetic field with only north poles" ? Sounds like a unicorn to me.

Try to sketch what you mean and attach an image to your post. As @phinds signaled your statement now doesn't make physical sense so most likely there is some misunderstanding somewhere.

Putting on my mind-reading hat for a moment, maybe the OP means what would happen if a number of bar magnets were joined together mechanically like a picket fence:

With all the "N" poles at the top. Then run the top of the fence left-to-right past a horizontal pickup coil to see what the induced voltage would be.

@Quix270 -- if this is what you mean, you will still get an AC pickup voltage induced in the coil, but it will be smaller than if the full "N" - "S" - "N" poles were run past the coil. The induced pickup voltage is proportional to the change in the flux through the coil area, so if you are just doing "N" - <zero> - "N" changes in the flux, that will be around half of what you can get if you change the flux all the way in each cycle N-S-N.

Look at the graph below and imagine it is the flux through the coil. Instead of going a full amplitude plus-to-minus, it is changing less because it is mostly one-sided. If it were the flux due to a full N-S-N changing flux, the amplitude of the change in the flux would be larger and evenly distributed above and below the zero line.

Does that help?
