Solution

Lenz's law

  1. According to Lenz's law, an induced electromotive force with a different polarity causes a current whose magnetic field opposes the change in magnetic flux through the loop, ensuring that the loop's original magnetic flux is maintained.
  2. Induced current always has a tendency to oppose the source that causes it, according to Lenz's law.
  3. Therefore, more effort must be put forth in order to work against the opposing force, and this increased effort causes a periodic variation in the magnetic flux, which causes more current to be produced.
  4. The excess work is converted to electrical energy as a result, in accordance with the rule of conservation of energy.

Hence Lenz's law is the consequence of the law of conservation of energy.
