Induced-EMF due to the induced magnetic field of a wire

electromagnetism

If a current carrying wire is placed inside a magnetic field(B), the wire will produce it's own magnetic field that will oppose the applied external magnetic field(B). Due to the two fields opposing one another, would that somehow change the ϕ acting on the wire inducing an ϵ to oppose that change?

I'm aware that this wire would experience the Lorentz Force, and from that will move and from that motion, there is induced ϵ = −vBL.

A current carrying wire will always generate its magnetic field, if this is going to be opposite to the external field or not, depends in which direction the current flows.

That beeing said, there will be no induced voltage if there will be no flux change. For flux to change you can either keep the outer field constant and change the area (e.g. move the wire) or you keep the area constant and change the external field, or change the current in the wire, thus changing the total flux in the area.
