Le Chatelier’s Principle
Introduction Le Chatelier’s Principle is a fundamental concept in physical chemistry that describes the behavior of dynamic equilibrium systems when subjected to external changes. Named after French chemist Henry Le Chatelier, this principle predicts how changes in conditions such as temperature, pressure, or concentration of components will affect the position of the chemical equilibrium. Statement…

Chapter 20: Faraday’s Law, Lenz’s Law
20.1 Introduction In this chapter, we will explore Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction and Lenz’s law. Faraday’s law states that a change in the magnetic field within a closed loop induces an electromotive force (EMF) in the loop. Lenz’s law describes the direction of the induced EMF and helps us understand the principle of energy…

Lenz’s Law
Introduction Lenz’s law is a fundamental principle in electromagnetism, stating that an induced electromotive force (or EMF) always generates a current that opposes the change in original magnetic flux. It is a manifestation of the conservation of energy applied to electromagnetic systems. The Law and Its Interpretation Lenz’s law can be understood in the context…
