MCQ Solution: Electromagnetic Induction
Lenz's law is based upon :
(1) law of conservation of energy
(2) law of conservation of angular momentum
(3) law of conservation of momentum
(4) law of conservation of charge
Solution
Lenz's law is a common way of understanding how electromagnetic circuits obey Newton's third law and the conservation of energy.
When an external force or energy causes motion of circuits involved or change of flux, an induced current with the induced field and the associated energy occurs to conserve the energy.
