Question

Why doesn't stationary magnetic field induce current?

Solution

Well, by definition, a magnetic field produces forces on moving charges. So if there’s just a magnetic field, and there’s a conductor with no charges already moving, there’s no reason for them to start to move, and plenty of reason (Ohm’s law) for them to stop.
So there is no possible way to induce current.
