 Today’s Goal
LENZ’S LAW-
Direction of the induced
current

We have Studied:
FARADAY’S FIRST LAW: Whenever there is a change
in magnetic flux linked with a conductor, an EMF is
induced in the conductor.

FARADAY’S SECOND LAW: The magnitude of the

induced EMF is equal to the Rate of change in
Magnetic Flux.

Direction of the induced current- LENZ’S LAW
According to Lenz’s Law, the direction of induced
current (or EMF) is such that it opposes the cause
producing it.

⇒ It is based on Conservation of Energy
