Lenz's law is always obeyed. Otherwise you'D HAVE A PERPETUAL-MOTION MACHINE. tHERE IS NO FREE LUNCH.rayjbryant said:Summary: If I have two magnets attached with like poles facing each other, will they still exhibit the dampening effect of Lenz's law when moved through a copper coil?
I've attached an illustration of my set up.
Because the two south poles face each other? No, because the flux between the two south poles is the sum of the flux due to each south pole.rayjbryant said:Would there be a net current in one direction do to greater flux density of the South poles?

Lenz's law is a fundamental law of electromagnetism that states that the direction of an induced current in a conductor will always oppose the change in magnetic flux that caused it.
Lenz's law was first formulated by Russian physicist Heinrich Lenz in 1834.
Lenz's law is applied in various technologies such as generators, motors, and transformers. It is also used in electromagnetic braking systems and magnetic levitation trains.
Lenz's law is a consequence of Faraday's law of induction, which states that a changing magnetic field induces an electric field. Lenz's law explains the direction of the induced current in relation to the changing magnetic field.
No, Lenz's law is a fundamental law of physics and has been experimentally verified countless times. It is a fundamental principle that governs the behavior of electromagnetic phenomena and cannot be violated.
