Question
Explain the significance of Lenz’s law to show the conservation of energy in electromagnetic induction.
Solution
Lenz's law implies the law of conservation of energy. It shows that the mechanical energy spent in doing work, against the opposing force experienced by the moving magnet, is transformed into the electrical energy due to which current flows in the solenoid.
