Which of the following laws is based upon the law of conservation of energy?
Correct answer: C. Lenz's law
- A. Faraday's law
- B. Coulomb's law
- C. Lenz's law
- D. Ohm's law
Explanation
Lenz's law is based on the law of conservation of energy. It states that the induced electromotive force (EMF) will generate a current that creates a magnetic field opposing the change in magnetic flux. This opposition prevents an endless increase of energy, thereby conserving energy.Faraday's law describes how a time-varying magnetic field induces an EMF but does not inherently encompass the concept of energy conservation. Coulomb's law pertains to electrostatics, and Ohm's law is a basic principle for electrical circuits, neither of which directly involve conservation of energy in the context of electromagnetic induction.

About Electromagnetism
Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
