	Whenever a current travels in a coil, a magnetic field, or electromagnetic induction, is produced around the coil. This is explained by the Faraday's Law of Induction, which states that a change in the magnetic environment of a coil will induce an electromagnetic force in the coil. The polarity of that emf generated by the change in magnetic flux will also produce a current whose magnetic field is opposed to the change that produces it. This is know as Lenz's Law.
