+According to Faraday's law, the emergence of electric currents depends on the change in
+magnetic flux. Therefore, we write that the time variation of the magnetic flux is
+equivalent to an electric potential measured in volts (V), which, for historical
+reasons, is called the induced electromotive force (ε). This relationship is expressed
+by the following formula:
+
+---------------
+| ε = ΔΦ / Δt |
+---------------
+
+ε --> induced electromotive force (V - volts)
+
+ΔΦ = ΦF - Φi - variation in magnetic flux (Wb)
+
+Δt - time interval (s)
+
+Furthermore, due to the principle of conservation of energy, we need to add a negative
+sign to Faraday's law. This signal was introduced by Lenz's Law, which allows us to
+determine the direction of the electric current:
+
+An electric current will always be formed in a direction such that the magnetic flux it
+produces opposes the magnetic flux that induced it.
+
+The combination of these pieces of information gives rise to the Faraday-Lenz Law.
