Question

Suppose you are holding a circular ring of wire and suddenly thrust a magnet, south pole first, away from you toward the center of the circle. Is a current induced in the wire? Is a current induced when the magnet is held steady within the ring? Is a current induced when you withdraw the magnet? In each case, if your answer is yes, specify the direction.

emf=NΔΦBΔtemf=-N\dfrac{\Delta \Phi_B}{\Delta t}

Yes, a clockwise current is created because the magnetic flux is changing. Use Lenz's Law to obtain the direction of the current (creates a magnetic field that reduces the magnetic flux).
