Emil Lenz (1804–1865) was a Russian physicist known for his work in thermodynamics and electromagnetism. He is best known for formulating Lenz's Law, which describes the direction of induced current in a closed loop when exposed to a changing magnetic field. Lenz's Law states that the induced current will flow in such a direction that it opposes the change in magnetic flux that produced it.
