Diamagnetic Levitation

Levitating Squares! Classes Used: PHYS 153

Place one of the graphene layers above the square arrangement of magnets. Due to the diamagnetic properties of graphene the electrons will be repelled and the resulting magnetic field opposes the one from the magnets, thus the layer of graphene levitates.

the magnets must be oriented: N S N S N S N S N
