Does Lenz’s law say that the induced current in a metal loop always flows to oppose the magnetic flux through that loop? Explain.
No, no induced current in a metal loop will flow to oppose the magnetic flux through the loop.

An emf source with E = 120 V, a resistor with R = 80.0 Ω, and a capacitor with C = 4.00 µF are connected in series. As the capacitor charges, when the current in the resistor is 0.900 A, what is the magnitude of the charge on each plate of the capacitor?
The tightly wound toroidal solenoid is one of the few configurations for which it is easy to calculate self-inductance. What features of the toroidal solenoid give it this simplicity?
BIO Transmission of Nerve Impulses. Nerve cells transmit electric
signals through their long tubular axons. These signals propagate due to a
sudden rush of ions, each with charge , into the axon. Measurements
have revealed that typically about ions enter each meter of the
axon during a time of . What is the current during this inflow of charge
in a meter of axon?
In the circuit shown in Fig. E26.41, both capacitors are initially charged to 45.0 V. (a) How long after closing the switch S will the potential across each capacitor be reduced to 10.0 V, and (b) what will be the current at that time?
Electric eels generate electric pulses along their skin that can be used to stun an enemy when they come into contact with it. Tests have shown that these pulses can be up to and produce currents of (or even larger). A typical pulse lasts for . What power and how much energy are delivered to the unfortunate enemy with a single pulse, assuming a steady current?
