JEE Main · PhysicsEasy
Which law states that the direction of the induced current is such that it opposes the change in magnetic flux that produced it?
- A.Faraday's Law
- B.Ampere's Law
- C.Lenz's Law
- D.Gauss's Law
Show correct answer & step-by-step solution
Correct answer: C — Lenz's Law
Solution
- Faraday's law defines the magnitude of induced EMF.
- Lenz's law specifically defines the direction of the induced current.
- The law states that the induced current opposes the change in magnetic flux.
- Hence the answer is (C).
