Description
Participants of the workshop will build a simple device in which a pencil levitates due to the repulsion of permanent magnets. The advantage of this construction over those described on various websites is that some parameters can be set, namely the distance of magnets under the pencil and the number of these magnets. This enables to investigate how the behaviour of the pencil (the height in which it levitates, its stability, oscillations etc.) depends on the parameters. Both the theory behind the tool and the possibilities of its use in physics teaching and learning will be discussed in the workshop.
