Lenz's Law and Conservation of Energy
Students will apply Lenz's Law to determine the direction of induced current and relate it to energy conservation.
Key Questions
- Justify how Lenz's Law is a direct consequence of the conservation of energy.
- Predict the direction of induced current when a magnet is moved into or out of a coil.
- Critique a scenario where Lenz's Law appears to be violated.
