Answer 1

The correct answer is Heinrich Friedrich Lenz.
Key Points

Heinrich Friedrich Lenz proposed the law known as Lenz's law in 1834.
Lenz's law states that the direction of the induced current in a conductor will be such that it opposes the change that produced it.
This law is a consequence of the law of conservation of energy and is widely used in the study of electromagnetism.

Additional Information

David Brewster was a Scottish physicist.
- He made significant contributions to the study of optics, including the polarization of light.
Henry Moseley was an English physicist.
- He made important discoveries about atomic structure and is known for his work on X-ray spectra.
Christian Johann Doppler was an Austrian mathematician and physicist.
He discovered the Doppler effect, which describes the change in frequency of a wave as the source and observer move relative to each other.
