The Lenz's law gives the direction of induced current. According to this law, the induced current opposes the cause that produces it.
What is Lenz law ?
Lenz's law states that: The current induced in a circuit due to a change in a magnetic field is directed to oppose the change in flux and to exert a mechanical force which opposes the motion.
According to the question,
If we keep the magnet stationary and moved the coil back and forth within the magnetic field, an electric current would be induced in the coil.
Then by either moving the wire or changing the magnetic field we can induce a voltage and current within the coil and this process is known as Electromagnetic Induction.
When the coil AB is approaching towards north pole of the magnet, the magnetic flux linking to the coil increases.
Now according to Lenz's law,
This magnetic field created will oppose its own or we can say opposes the decrease in flux through the coil and this is possible only if approaching coil side attains south polarity, as we know dissimilar poles attract each other.
Once we know the magnetic polarity of the coil side, we can easily determine the direction of the induced current by applying right hand rule. In this case, the current flows in the A to B direction.
The right-hand rule. If you point your pointer finger in the direction the positive charge is moving, and then your middle finger in the direction of the magnetic field, your thumb points in the direction of the magnetic force pushing on the moving charge.
