Basic Levitation and Magnetic Levitation Circuit Project
Understanding Basic Levitation
In basic levitation (Fig 1) an object appears to float due to the invisible forces of magnets. A magnet creates a field that forms two opposing poles: North and South (Fig 2). Opposite poles attract each other while similar poles repel. For magnetic levitation, there is a fixed magnet and a smaller free moving permanent magnet, which is the object that will levitate. This object has two forces exerted on it: downward force from gravity and upward force from the fixed magnet.
