The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Lenz's law gives the direction of induced emf/ induced current. According to this law, the direction of induced emf or current in a circuit is such as to oppose the cause that produces it.

Faradays Laws of Induction

There are two laws, given by Faraday which explain the phenomena of electromagnetic induction:

Faraday's First Law:

Whenever a conductor is placed in a varying magnetic field, an emf is induced. If the conductor circuit is closed, a current is induced, known as the induced current.

Faraday's Second Law:

The Emf induced inside a coil is equal to the rate of change of associated magnetic flux.

This law can be mathematically written as:

\(-N {\triangle \phi \over \triangle t}\)
