What is Lenz’s law?
What is Lenz’s law?
Show Hint
Lenz’s law is a consequence of the principle of conservation of energy in electromagnetic induction.
Solution and Explanation
When the magnetic flux linked with a circuit changes, an electromotive force (EMF) is induced, and the induced current opposes this change.
