Page 81 - No mere rotation of a bar-magnet on its axis produces any inductive effects on circuits exterior to it. The system of power about the magnet must not be considered as revolving with the magnet any more than the rays of light which emanate from the sun are supposed to revolve with the sun. The magnet may even, in certain cases, be considered as revolving amongst its own forces, and producing a full electric effect sensible at the galvanometer.
