NEET Physics Lenz's Law MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

Which of the following statements correctly describes Lenz's Law?

A

The induced current flows in a direction that opposes the change in magnetic flux.

B

Lenz's Law states that induced emf always increases magnetic flux.

C

The direction of induced current is independent of the magnetic flux change.

D

Lenz's Law applies only to closed loops and not to irregular shapes.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

According to Lenz's Law, the induced current flows in a direction that opposes the change in magnetic flux, ensuring conservation of energy. This is highlighted in the context where the current opposes both the increase and decrease in magnetic flux through the loop.
