Step 1
1 of 2

Recall that Lenz’s law\textbf{Lenz's law} states that the change in the magnetic flux should be opposed\textbf{opposed} by the magnetic field of the induced current. Since the change in the external field is opposed, then there is no way for the system's energy to increase or decrease. In other words, ``you cannot take more than what you've put".
