Lenz's law
1 linksLenz's law, named after the physicist Emil Lenz (pronounced ) who formulated it in 1834, says that the direction of the electric current induced in a conductor by a changing magnetic field is such that the magnetic field created by the induced current opposes changes in the initial magnetic field.
