Abstract
The levitation of a metal ring in an alternating magnetic field, often used as a demonstration of induced current in introductory courses, is shown to be due entirely to some rather small phase differences. The fields and phases are directly measured and used to calculate the force, with the result agreeing with the weight of the ring. All theory and measurement are within the reach of students taking a first course in electromagnetism.
