Heinrich Lenz was born on February 12, 1804. Lenz is most remembered for his studies of electromagnetism. At the beginning of the nineteenth century scientists began understanding electricity and magnetism, but not the relationships between the two. Lenz formulated Lenz's Law to study the relationship between the two. Lenz observed that when a electrical current is generated by a changing magnetic field, the magnetic field generated by that electrical current opposes the magnetic field that generated the current.
