Consider a magnet surrounded by a wire, with an on/off switch S (figure). If the switch is thrown from the off position (open circuit) to the on position (closed circuit), will a current flow in the circuit? Explain.

As shown in the figure, the magnet bar and the coil are stationary, therefore there would be no change in the magnetic flux linked to the projected area of the coil. Hence there would be no EMF generate and if there is no EMF, there is not going to be any current flowing in the circuit when it is closed.
