Question

Lenz's law of electromagnetic induction supports

• A. Conservation of angular momentum
• B. Conservation of linear momentum
• C. Conservation of mechanical energy
• D. Conservation of energy (electrical+ mechanical)

Answer 1

The correct option is D Conservation of energy (electrical+ mechanical)

In induction, a moving magnet is producing electrical energy in the form of current. So, to conserve the energy, the electric current is formed in such a way that, it reduces the mechanical energy of the magnet by opposing it.
