What is Lenz’s law?
The general definition of Lenz’s Law is,
“The induced current in a circuit due to Electromagnetic Induction always opposes the change in magnetic flux.”
It is a scientific law that specifies the direction of induced current but states nothing about its magnitude. The magnetic field associated with the closed circuit amplifies the induced current flow in such a way that it creates a magnetic field in the opposite direction of the original magnetic field. Thus, opposing the cause which produced it and stating its similarity with Newton’s third law.
Lenz’s Law
Lenz law was given by the German scientist Emil Lenz in 1834 this law is based on the principle of conservation of energy and is in accordance with Newton’s third law. Lenz law is used to give the direction of induced current in the circuit.
In this article, let’s learn about Lenz law its formula, experiments, and others.
