Physics for Scientists and Engineers II, Summer Semester Lenz’s Law Assume for a moment that it was otherwise: then, a small increase in the magnetic field\ would create a current that produces a magnetic field that is increasing in the same direction. This increase would fuel another increase in current etc. We would have a runaway effect in which the current would get so large that the ring would melt down. This cannot be so as can easily be seen From a conservation of energy view point. WRONG!!
Physics for Scientists and Engineers II, Summer Semester Lenz’s Law Correct !! The current induced creates a magnetic field that is opposite to B.
Physics for Scientists and Engineers II, Summer Semester Faraday’s Law in General Form E is a non-conservative field (unlike the electrostatic field produced by stationary charges.
