Lenz’s Law Is Confusing for Many Physics Students — Here’s How It Really Works

SMRTR summary

Faraday's Law and Lenz's Law are key concepts in physics that explain the relationship between magnetic fields and electric currents. Faraday's Law states that a changing magnetic field creates an electric field, which can produce an electric current in a conductor. The concept of magnetic flux is introduced, similar to rain flux, depending on field strength, area, and angle. Lenz's Law builds on this, describing how induced currents oppose the change in magnetic flux that created them.
