Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option B: Energy
Concept:

Lenz's Law states that the direction of an induced current will oppose the change in magnetic flux that produced it.

Solution:

  • This opposition creates a resistive magnetic force. Mechanical work must be actively done against this opposing force to keep the coil or magnet moving.


  • This mechanical work is converted into the electrical energy of the induced current, perfectly demonstrating the Conservation of Energy.


Why other options are incorrect:

If Lenz's law did not hold (i.e., if induced current aided the motion), the magnet would accelerate infinitely, creating limitless energy. Charge, momentum, and mass conservation govern different physical phenomena.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
