Question
Lenz's law is a direct consequence of:

Answer

  1. The law of conservation of energy.
Explanation:
Lenz's law states that the current induced in a circuit due to a change or a motion in a magnetic field is so directed as to oppose the change in flux.
We know that induced EMF produces a current that opposes the change in flux, because a change in flux means a change in energy.Energy can enter or leave, but not instantaneously. So, Lenz' law is a consequence of the law of conservation of energy.
