You will be surprised to know that Lenz law is actually a result of the principle of conservation of energy. If there is no opposition to change in the magnetic flux, no external source of force will be required which will violate the principle of conservation of energy. Both these laws are intercon

From Lenz law, current in the square loop will be in anticlockwise sense

What will happen if the current is stopped instead of opposing in the conductor?

This scenario will also violate the principle of conservation of energy. If there is no current flowing, no force will also be required to oppose it and the whole situation just won't work as per the desire. There will be no control over the enrgy of the system.
