Answer: energy.
- A energy
- B charge
- C mass
- D momentum
Correct answer: A. energy
Explanation: The opposition described by Lenz’s law ensures energy is conserved.
As a magnet approaches a coil, flux rises steadily and a constant non-zero EMF is induced (Faraday's law). Once the magnet stops moving, flux stays constant and the induced EMF drops to zero - EMF only exists while flux is actively changing.
Concept context
Faraday's and Lenz's laws, motional EMF, self/mutual inductance, eddy currents, and the AC generator - how a changing magnetic flux creates an electric current.
