Lenz's law is used for devices like eddy current brakes, induction cooktops, and metal detectors. For example in induction cooktops, the currents in the cookware are induced by the changing magnetic fields. It generates the heat due to resistance. It is based on Lenz's law which follows the opposing nature of the induced current.
