Question

How does an induced field oppose a decrease in magnetic flux?

Options

• It always points into the page regardless of the original field.

• It is a supporting field that helps maintain the flux.

• It points opposite to the original field and accelerates the decrease.

• It prevents any field from passing through the loop.

Answer 1

When flux decreases, the induced field supports the original field to maintain the flux. This opposes the decrease rather than opposing the existing field.
