Thanks very much for your input. I have posted this question to another forum and got an opposite response written below. What are your thoughts on the below out of interest? Cheers "In that case, by simmetry, if you take any loop of the coil, for every field line that goes through it, if it goes to the negative pole, there must be another simetrical that comes from the positive, so the total flux will be 0, and constant, so there will be no current induced." http://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/53078/basic-magnet-through-a-copper-coil-experiment-what-if-poles-were-rotated-90-de

I was wondering what voltage or current, if any, would be produced if the basic magnet through a copper coil experiment had the poles rotated 90 degress so north and south faced the top/bottom of the coil rather than the entry/exit points? The attached image has a baic illustration of this. Thanks
