Question : In 1834, who proposed a law that states that the current induced by a change in flow opposes the effect of creating the change?
Option 1: David Brewster
Option 2: Henry Moseley
Option 3: Christian Johann Doppler
Option 4: Heinrich Friedrich Lenz
Correct Answer: Heinrich Friedrich Lenz
Solution : The correct answer is Heinrich Friedrich Lenz .
Heinrich Friedrich Lenz was a Russian physicist of German origin who independently formulated what is known as Lenz's Law in 1834. Lenz's law articulates that when a magnetic field around a conductor changes, the induced electric current's direction opposes the change. In other words, the magnetic field generated by this induced current acts to counteract alterations in the original magnetic field.
