Question

how to levitate a magnet

Answer 1

Hi Sai!

The magnetic levitation can be performed by the following methods:

1. Repulsion between like poles of permanent magnets or electromagnets. There needs to be a way to constrain the magnets so they don't flip over and become attracted to each other.

2. Repulsion between a magnetic field and a diamagnetic substance. This is the case of the floating frog, and the floating magnet between two diamagnetic disks.

3. Repulsion between a magnet and a superconductor.
