Lenz's law
Lenz's law is a common way of understanding how electromagnetic circuits obey Newton's third law and the conservation of energy. Lenz's law is named after Heinrich Lenz, and it says: An induced electromotive force always gives rise to a current whose magnetic field opposes the original change in magnetic flux. Lenz's law is shown with the negative sign in Faraday's law of induction, which indicates that the induced emf and the change in magnetic flux have opposite signs. For a rigorous mathematical treatment, see electromagnetic induction and Maxwell's equations.
The Standard Electrical Dictionary
Lenz's Law
A law expressing the relations of direction of an inducing current or field of force to the current induced by any disturbance in the relations between such field and any closed conductor within its influence. It may be variously expressed. (a) If the relative position of two conductors, A and B, be changed, of which A is traversed by a current, a current is induced in B in such a direction that, by its electro-dynamic action on the current in A, it would have imparted to the conductors a motion of the contrary kind to that by which the inducing action was produced. (Ganot.) (b) The new (induced) current will increase the already existing resistances, or develop new resistance to that disturbance of the field which is the cause of induction. (Daniell.) (c) When a conductor is moving in a magnetic field a current is induced in the conductor in such a direction as by its mechanical action to oppose the motion. (Emtage.) (d) The induced currents are such as to develop resistance to the change brought about.
