Lenz’s law applies to closed circuit determining the direction of induced current states. “The induced emf will appear in such a direction that it opposes the change that produced it.”

$| \varepsilon| =\text{L}\frac{\text{di}}{\text{dt}}$
$| \varepsilon| =5\times10^{-3}\times\frac{(4 - 1 )}{30\times10^{-3}}\text{V} = 0.5\text{V}.$
