Law: Lenz's Law

The direction of the induced current in a circuit is such that the magnetic field produced by the induced current opposes the change in the magnetic flux that induces the current; equivalently, "the direction of the induced emf or induced current in a circuit is such that it opposes the change in magnetic flux which produces it." The direction of induced emf is the same as that of induced current. This law is based on the law of conservation of energy.
Illustration with a bar magnet:

  • When a magnet approaches a coil, an anti-clockwise current is induced in the coil.
  • When a magnet is taken away from a coil, a clockwise current is induced in the coil.
