I've recently learned that conductors can achieve stability when placed in an alternating electric field. This is because of Lenz's law. So I was wondering if we could levitate a conductor and stabilize it, can we do the same thing with a plasma?
If we can create a magnetic cusp, but oscillate the current fast enough, can we do this in theory?
To me it looks like we can't because it is not tightly bound together. Even then, we still have currents induced right? If that's the case, how efficient or inefficient would this method be?
Thanks for the replies.
