Near the surface of the earth, a magnet is made to levitate above another magnet, which is on a table, due only to magnetic force. The levitating magnet has a mass of 150 g with its north pole facing the magnet on the table and its south pole facing upwards. 1. Sketch a free-body diagram of the levitating magnet. 2. Determine the magnetic force on the levtiating magnet.

1. Sketch a free-body diagram of the levitating magnet.
2. Determine the magnetic force on the levtiating magnet.
3. Sketch the magnetic field between the two magnets.
4. A stream of electrons is shot between the magnets, perpendicular to the field. Describe, in general, what will happen to the electrons, ignoring the effects of gravity on the electrons. (Will they continue traveling straight or will their path deviate and why?)
