Lenz's law os based on the law of conservation of
Correct answer: B. Energy
- A. Mass
- B. Energy
- C. Charge
- D. Momentum
Explanation
Lenz's law is based on the law of conservation of energy. From the definition of Lenz's law, we know that the induced current is always opposed by the cause that produces it. Therefore, there is extra work done against the opposing force.

About Lenz's Law
Lenz's law states that the induced current flows in a direction that opposes the change in magnetic flux producing it. Questions connect this rule with Faraday's law, magnetic flux, induced emf and the direction of motion or current, while distinguishing opposition to flux change from opposition to the magnetic field itself.
