What is lenz's law?

Answer 1

The Lenz Law is "An induced electromotive force generates a current that induces a counter magnetic field that opposes the magnetic field generating the current." It was invented by a Russian Physicist named Heinrich Lenz.

Answer 2

Lenz's Law states that the direction of the induced current in a conductor will be such that it creates a magnetic field that opposes the change in magnetic field that induced it. This law is based on the principle of conservation of energy and helps explain electromagnetic induction phenomena.

Answer 3

Lenz's law is named after Heinrich Lenz's law is a common way of understanding how electromagnetic circuits obey Newton's third law and the conservation of energy.
