PHY 102 Electromagnetic Induction 2 Objective Question

Question

Lenz's law is related to which fundamental principle in physics?
Options
A The law of conservation of momentum.
B The law of conservation of mass.
C The law of conservation of charge.
D The law of conservation of energy.
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 24 states: 'Lenz's law is one of the basic laws in electromagnetic induction for determining the direction of flow of induced currents and is related to the law of conservation of energy.'

Hint

If the induced current didn't oppose the change, it would create energy out of nothing, violating a key principle.
