Lenz's law deals with conversion of mechanical energy into electromagnetic energy in case of electromagnetic induction. Hence Lenz's law is basically a conversion of energy from one form to another.
Superconductors are materials that conduct electricity with no resistance. This means that, unlike the more familiar conductors such as copper or steel, a superconductor can carry a current indefinitely without losing any energy.
The upper limit temperature of a superconductor is $125K$
The substances which are attracted towards a magnet are called ferro-magnetic materials Materials that can be magnetized, which are also the ones that are strongly attracted to a magnet, are called ferromagnetic $($or ferrimagnetic$)$. These include iron, nickel, cobalt, some alloys of rare$-$earth metals, and some naturally occurring minerals such as lodestone.

Above $631K \ Ni$ behaves like paramagnetic material.
Permanent magnets should have high retentivity so that a strong magnetic field persists on removal of magnetic field.
Permanent magnets should have high coercivity so that external magnetic field in opposite direction cannot easily demagnetize the magnet.
A magnetic dipole possess maximum potential energy when its magnetic moment and the magnetic field are antiparallel. When the magnetic dipole is aligned along the magnetic field, i.e. when $\theta = 180^\circ,$ it is in unstable equilibrium having maximum potential energy.
Permanent magnet should have large coercivity and large retentivity. Therefore, the hysteresis cycle of the material should be tall and wide.
Diamagnetism $($where orbital motion of electrons creates tiny atomic current loops, which produce magnetic fields$)$ is a property of all materials and opposes applied magnetic fields, but is very weak.
The permanent magnetic moment of the atoms of a material is zero. The material must be diamagnetic.
According to Lenz's law an induced electromotive force $(emf)$ always gives rise to a current whose magnetic field opposes the original change in magnetic flux.
It is a common way of understanding how electromagnetic circuits obey newton's third law and the conservation of energy.
Coercivity is the magnetic force required to demagnetise the material.
The value of $H$ needed to remove the residual magnetism is coercive force or coercivity.
Lenz's Law states that the direction of an induced current is always such as to oppose the change in the circuit or the magnetic field that produces it. So according to this law, induced current flows to oppose the cause.
Key concept: The electrostatic field lines, do not form a continuous closed path (this follows from the conservative nature of electric field) while the magnetic field lines form the closed paths.
According to the Gauss' law, $\oint\text{E.ds}=\frac{\text{q}}{\in_0}$ for electronstatic field. It does not contradict foe eletrostatic fields as the elecric field lines do not form a continuous closed path.
According to Gauss' law in magnetism.
$\oint\text{B.ds}=0$
Which implies that number of magnetic field lines entering the Gaussian surface is equal to the number of magnetic field lines leaving it. Therefore case $(ii)$ is not possible.
Paramagnetic materials are those when suspended freely inside the magnetic field, it slowly sets itself parallel to the direction of the magnetic field. When placed in a non$-$uniform magnetic field, it tends to move from weaker to a stronger magnetic field.
A moving charge and changing electric field both produces magnetic field.
A narrow hysteresis loop implies a small amount of dissipated energy. This occurs as a result of its small area and therefore more frequently repeated reversals of applied magnetising force. Soft magnetic are materials used in devices that require alternating magnetic fields have these narrow hysteresis shapes.
A surrounding around a magnet in which source is felt is due to magnetic property of the magnet term as magnetic field.

Curie $-$ Wiess Law states that all ferromagnetic substances become paramagnteic above the curie temperature.
Artificial magnets are man-made magnets. Magnets that are made from iron in different components shapes and sizes for different uses are called artificial magnets.
Magnetization is also termed as magnetic polarization. Magnetic polarization is basically a balance between the magnetic flux density in a space which is devoid of matter and the magnetic flux density in a space with matter, i.e. in a material.
Since the coil and the magnet are moving with same velocity, so there will be no change in magnetic flux linked with the coil due to magnet. Hence no emf is induced in the coil.
When a charge electron starts to move, electric current generates and this electric current generates magnetic field, a charge at rest also can generate electric field.
A vertical plane passing through the axis of a freely suspended or pivoted magnet is known as magnetic meridian of Earth. The vertical plane passing through the geographical North Pole and South Pole at a given place is known as the geographical meridian of that place.
In superconductors, the resistance drops abruptly to zero when the material is cooled below its critical temperature. Thus resistivity of superconductors is zero below its critical temperature.
