Lenz’s Law
States that the induced current always flows in a direction
so that it opposes the change which is causing it.
Based on the principle of conservation of energy.
When the magnet or solenoid is moved against the
opposing force, work is done. Therefore, mechanical
energy is converted to electrical energy.
