Lenz's law is a manifestation of which fundamental conservation principle?
AConservation of energy
BConservation of mass
CConservation of momentum
DConservation of charge
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Conservation of energy
If induced current aided the flux change, it would self-sustain and grow indefinitely — producing energy from nothing.
**So the opposing direction is forced by energy conservation.**
