What is the direction of the induced current in a conductor according to Lenz's Law?

  1. In the same direction as the magnetic field.

  2. In the opposite direction to the magnetic field.

  3. Perpendicular to the magnetic field.

  4. It depends on the orientation of the conductor.

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Lenz's Law states that the direction of the induced current in a conductor is such that it opposes the change in magnetic flux through the conductor.

What is the relationship between the magnitude of the induced current and the rate of change of magnetic flux?

  1. The induced current is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux.

  2. The induced current is inversely proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux.

  3. The induced current is independent of the rate of change of magnetic flux.

  4. The relationship is non-linear.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The magnitude of the induced current is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux through the conductor, as described by Faraday's Law of Induction.

What is the purpose of Lenz's Law?

  1. To determine the direction of the induced current.

  2. To determine the magnitude of the induced current.

  3. To determine the polarity of the induced current.

  4. All of the above.

Explanation:

Lenz's Law is used to determine the direction, magnitude, and polarity of the induced current in a conductor.

What is an example of Lenz's Law in action?

  1. A generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

  2. A transformer transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another.

  3. An electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.

  4. All of the above.

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Lenz's Law is a fundamental principle that governs the behavior of induced currents in conductors and is applied in various devices such as generators, transformers, and electric motors.

What is the mathematical expression for Lenz's Law?

  1. $varepsilon = -N \frac{d\Phi_B}{dt}$

  2. $varepsilon = N \frac{d\Phi_B}{dt}$
