Lenz's law, definition, explanation

Definition:-

"The electric current induced in a circuit or somewhere, always tries to decrease the source which produces it or flow in opposite direction to decrease its effect."  

Lenz's law expand the law of electromagnetism which only tell about induced electric current.

Explanation:-

As we came to know through Lenz's law that the current induced, always tries to do opposite, for the source which is producing it, 

Example:-

lets take an example of a permanent magnet and a coil. 

When we bring the magnet north pole near to the coil there will be change in magnetic field across coil as we move magnet, thus because of changing magnetic field there will induce electric current in it. As we bought the north pole of magnet to the coil, so current induced in coil will start to flow in such a direction that it will make north pole of it towards the permanent magnet north pole, as everybody knows that, like poles of magnet repel each other, hence there, these two north pole will also follow the same rule. And When we will try to bring back the magnet then the current induced in the coil will flow in such a direction, that it will make south pole towards the permanent magnet north pole, where unlike poles attract each other, hence they will attract each other. 

So by doing this current induced in the coil is trying to oppose the source(permanent magnet). By pushing it back when we bring near it(creating north pole towards north pole of magnet) and by pushing it closer when we bring back the magnet(by creating south pole towards the magnet.)
