Question

The direction of current flow in the circuit is such that the induced magnetic field produced by the induced current will oppose the original magnetic field. This is:

• A. Faraday’s Law
• B. Lenz’s Law
• C. Biot - Savart Law
• D. Gauss’s Law

Hint:

Lenz's Law ensures that the induced current opposes the change in magnetic flux, a direct consequence of the conservation of energy.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Lenz’s Law states that the direction of the induced current in a closed loop will always oppose the change in the magnetic flux that created it. This opposition helps conserve energy, ensuring the induced current works against the changing flux. Although Faraday’s Law describes the induced emf, Lenz’s Law specifies the direction of the induced current.
