Lenz's law states the induced current direction is such that it:
AAids the change in flux
BOPPOSES the change in flux that produced it
CHas no direction
DFlows randomly
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. OPPOSES the change in flux that produced it
Lenz's law: induced current opposes the change in flux. Consequence of energy conservation: if it aided the change, energy would be created from nothing. The minus sign in Faraday's law.
