SUMMARY
When the switch is closed in a circuit with two coils, the meter reading will deflect to the left, indicating the direction of current flow. According to Lenz's Law, if a North pole (N) is generated in the first coil, a corresponding North pole must be produced in the second coil to oppose the change. This interaction creates distinct magnetic fields in both coils, influencing the overall circuit behavior. The analysis confirms the application of Lenz's Law in predicting the effects of closing the switch.
