Lenz's law of electromagnet states that
Answer Details
Lenz's law of electromagnetism states that the direction of an induced current in a conductor is always such as to oppose the change that produced it. In other words, when there is a change in magnetic flux through a circuit, it produces an induced electromotive force (emf) which in turn generates a current. This induced current flows in such a direction that it opposes the change that produced it. This law is a consequence of the conservation of energy principle, as the induced current creates a magnetic field that opposes the change in the magnetic field that caused the current to be induced.
