Polarity from induction motor

I'm confused on what changes the polarities of currents and voltages in the wire loop.

The worksheet says " Current & Voltage change direction with change in magnet motion". Does this mean that the north or south pole of the magnet does not matter and just throws the current/voltage in the other direction while it passes?


Even if the polarity matters, what is the first polarity given that the wire loop starts level, then goes 45 degrees equally distant? like this diagram - http://www.animations.physics.unsw.edu.au/jw/electricmotors.html

apply your left hand rule, as the loop cuts through one pole, current flows in one direction, as it cuts through the opposite pole, it reverses.
