The induced current flow in such a direction so as to oppose the cause that produces it. The statement is:
Correct answer: C. Lenz's Law
- A. Ampere's Law
- B. Faraday's Law
- C. Lenz's Law
- D. Joule's Law
Explanation
Lenz's law, in electromagnetism, states that an induced electric current flows in a direction such that the current opposes the change that induced it.

About Electromagnetism
Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
