Lenz's law states that induced currents oppose the change causing them. It ensures energy conservation and determines the direction of induced effects.
Trinn-for-trinn guide
- 1Apply the right-hand rule with thumb opposite to flux change direction
- 2Fingers curl in direction of induced current
- 3Induced field opposes the original change

Lenz's law applies
Vanlige feil å unngå
- ✕Assuming induced effects aid the cause (incorrect)
- ✕Confusing current direction with field direction
Ofte stilte spørsmål
Why does Lenz's law matter?
It ensures electromagnetic induction follows energy conservation; induced effects always oppose changes.
Is Lenz's law separate from Faraday's law?
No, the negative sign in Faraday's law IS Lenz's law; it's the same concept expressed mathematically.
