Question
Explain why an induced current must flow in such a direction so as to oppose the change producing it.
Solution

Long distance power transmissions
The large-scale transmission and distribution of electrical energy over long distances is done with the use of transformers. The voltage output of the generator is stepped up. It is then transmitted over long distances to an area sub-station near the consumers. There the voltage is stepped down. It is further stepped down at distributing sub-stations and utility poles before a power supply of 240 V reaches our homes.
We need to step-up the voltage for power transmission, so that ______.
For an LCR circuit, the power transferred from the driving source to the driven oscillator is P = I2Z cos φ.
- Here, the power factor cos φ ≥ 0, P ≥ 0.
- The driving force can give no energy to the oscillator (P = 0) in some cases.
- The driving force cannot syphon out (P < 0) the energy out of oscillator.
- The driving force can take away energy out of the oscillator.
