Floating ball | Magnetic Levitation | English

Make a floating ball which seems to float mid-air! In this simple experiment, we will learn about magnets, magnetic properties of various substances and how they react when placed in the magnetic field.

We know that magnets have a property that unlike poles attract each other and like poles repel each other. Using these properties, we will make a ball that floats in the air. This ball has a small magnet inside it and the stand has another magnet that attracts the ball upwards. The small counterweight is attached to the ball to keep it floating.

Now we will see how different materials react when placed in the magnetic field and do they cut the lines of forces. We see that even plate of soft iron does not cut the lines of forces but actually turns into a magnet by itself due to induced magnetism.

Hope you learned something new today and had fun learning about magnets and properties of the materials. For more exciting experiments about math’s and science subscribe to our YouTube channel.

Thank you!
