History of Lenz's Law:-
Faraday could only tell ,when and how much induced emf is produced. It was the Russian scientist H. F. E lenz who gave us in 1833 the direction of the induced emf. His experiments are known as lenz law.
Explanation :-
Connect a galvanometer to coil. Take a magnet NS and move into the coil with it's north pole downlwords. The deflection in the galvanometer is towards left which indicates that the current in the coil flows in anticlockwise direction as seen from above. Hence upper force of the coil has acquired north polarity due to flow of induced current through it.
If we move the magnet out of the coil ,the deflection us towards right, indicates that the current is upper face of the coil flows in clockwise direction as seen from above, hence upper face of the coil has aquired north polarity due to flow if induced current through it.
Similarly, if the magnet is moved into or out of the coil with its aouth pole downward the deflection in the galvanometer Will towards right and left respective showing thereby that the upper face of the coil is south in first case and or in second case.
From the above experiments, we infer that the upper Face of the coil always acquired such a polarity so as to oppose the motion of the magnet into or out of coil. In case of figures a and c the magnet mive inwards by making the upper face of the coil aquire polarity same as that of the lower Pole of the magnet.
In figure b and d the magnet moves outward and the wmf so generated majes the upper face of the coil acquired a polarity which opposes the outward motion of the magnet. This is possible only if upper face acquires south polarisation case of fig. b and the north in the case of fig. d.
We, therefore conclude that the induced emf has no fixed direction of its own.
If always acquired such a direction so that it can oppose the aquire producing it. The above conclusion is known as the lenz's Law which state the induced current produced in a circuit always flow in such a direction that it opposes the change or the cause of produces it.
