SUMMARY
Lenz's Law directly supports the Law of Conservation of Energy by indicating that induced electromotive force (EMF) generates a current that opposes the change in magnetic flux. This opposition is mathematically represented by the negative sign in Faraday's induction equation, which ensures that energy is conserved in electromagnetic systems. The relationship between these two laws is fundamental in understanding electromagnetic induction and energy transfer in physics.
