If a positive sign were present in Faraday's law instead of a negative sign, this would lead to perpetual motion..

True or false?

I want to say yes . But hopefully someone can verify.
 
Good question.

And the answer may be a little different from what you expect.

Think about positive v negative feedback and growth without limit.
