According to Lenz's law, the induced current opposes
Athe source emf
Bthe direction of motion of charges
Cthe magnetic field itself
Dthe change in magnetic flux
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. the change in magnetic flux
1. Lenz's law states that the induced current sets up a magnetic field opposing the change in flux.
2. This is a consequence of conservation of energy.
3. Hence the answer is: opposes the change in magnetic flux.
