He gave electromagnetism its rule of resistance: currents oppose the change that creates them. Lenz's law, published in 1834, is the reason every motor and generator behaves the way it does.
About
Heinrich Friedrich Emil Lenz was born on 24 February 1804, a Baltic German who became a physicist in Russia. In 1834 he formulated the principle now called Lenz's law in electrodynamics — the rule that an induced current flows in a direction opposing the magnetic change that produced it. The law became fundamental to understanding how electric systems respond to flux. He died on 10 February 1865, his surname now shorthand for a concept engineers invoke daily.
