The Jumping Ring and Lenz's Law--An Analysis
Bostock-Smith, J. M.
Physics Education, v43 n3 p265-269 May 2008
Lenz's law is sometimes invoked to explain the behaviour of the jumping, or levitating, ring. This is shown to be incomplete, and an alternative explanation using Faraday's laws and circuit analysis is offered. This leads to the choice of optimum material and dimensions for the ring. (Contains 1 table and 4 figures.)
