Answer:

Lenz’s law states that an induced magnetic field in a conductor opposes the applied flux through the conductor.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Lenz's law, the direction of induced e.m.f is such that it generates a current which in turn produces a magnetic field that would oppose the change causing it.

In other words, the direction of any magnetic induction effect is such that it opposes the cause of the effect.

Therefore; an induced magnetic field in a conductor, opposes the applied flux through the conductor.
