induced drag * speed

higher the speed more is the induced drag.....
so when you got flaps extended it is obviously low speed.& hence low induced drag.
depanding upon aerofoil shape and air flow speed determines various kind of drags.
for every perticular situation, drags varies....total drag comes in picture.
