Lenz law is in accordance with the law of conservation of energy. Explain
Answers
If we move the magnet towards the coil and polarity is developed as contradictory to the Lenz law.The work done in the process would be zero.
This means that electrical energy is produced without doing the mechanical energy work which is wrong.
hope it helps!!!
Hey !!
LENZ'S LAW :- According to this law ''the direction of induced current in a closed circuit is always such as to oppose the cause that produces it''
EXAMPLE :- When the north pole is brought near a closed coil, the direction of current induced in the coil is such as to oppose the approach of north pole. For this the nearer face of coil behaves as north pole. This necessitates an anticlockwise current in the coil.
Similarly when north pole of the magnet is moved away from the coil, the direction of current in the coil will be such as to attract the magnet. For this the nearer face of coil behaves as south pole. This necessitates a clockwise current in the coil.
CONSERVATION OF ENERGY IN LENZ'S LAW
Thus, in each case whenever there is a relative motion between a coil and the magnet. a force begins to act which opposes the relative motion. Therefore, to maintain the relative motion, a mechanical work must be done. This work appears in the form of electric energy of the coil.
Thus, law is based on principle of conservation of energy.
