Answer to Question #112776 in Mechanical Engineering for peter L

Question

Mechanical implications of faraday's law include motors and generators. Briefly explain Newton's law, the basis of mechanical engineering.

Answer 1

Newton's third law of motion is analogous to Lenz's law as per third law of motion for every action there is equal and opposite reaction.

As Lenz's law states that emf is generated by change in magnetic flux , the polarity of induced emf is such that it generates a current whose magnetic field in a direction that opposes the change produced it.
