Explanation

**Solenoid second coil** experiences emf only when current in solenoid changes because flux linkage changes only then, steady current gives constant Φ, dΦ/dt=0, no emf, when current changes, dΦ/dt ≠0, emf induced, illustrating Faraday's law requirement of changing flux. Lenz’s law dictates that the induced current creates a south pole to repel the approaching south pole, opposing the flux increase. Using Φ = B A cosθ, e = -N dΦ/dt = -N A dB/dt = B l v = N B A ω sinωt, L = μ₀ N²A/l, M = e/(dI/dt) and U = ½ L I², result South follows, reflecting Faraday's law and Lenz's opposition.
