Lenz's law gives the **direction** of the induced current. It states that the induced current flows in such a direction that:
AIt enhances the change in flux that produced it
BIt is independent of the flux
CIt is always clockwise
DIt opposes the change in flux that produced it
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. It opposes the change in flux that produced it
Lenz's law: induced current sets up a magnetic field that **opposes** the flux change that caused it. This is a direct consequence of energy conservation — otherwise we would have a perpetual motion machine.
