moving a magnet into a coil of wire in a closed circuit

Reason: electromagnetic induction is produced by a changing magnetic flux through a loop. Moving the magnet into a coil changes the flux and, if the coil is part of a closed circuit, induces a measurable current (Faraday’s experiment). An open circuit produces no current, and using a compass near a wire tests magnetic fields from currents (Oersted’s effect), not induction.
