Abstract
An experimental arrangement to suspend a magnet below a superconductor is discussed in this article. The suspension of the magnet is achieved with the help of an external force to overcome the repulsive force between the magnet and the superconductor. A simple experimental setup to measure the force between a magnet and a superconductor as a function of distance between them is also discussed.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
