Lenz's law
Physicist Emil Lenz (pronounced /ˈlɛnts/) formulated Lenz's law in 1834, after which it was named for him.
Magnetic fields
edit"The direction of current induced in a conductor by a changing magnetic field due to Faraday's law of induction will be such that it will create a field that opposes the change that produced it."[1]
For current I that generates a magnetic field
The induced current generated
Theoretical Lenz's law
editDef. "a law of electromagnetic induction which states that an electromotive force, induced in a conductor, is always in such a direction that the current it would produce would oppose the change which caused it; it is a form of the law of conservation of energy"[2] is called Lenz's law.
