How Does Lenz's Law Cause an Aluminum Ring to Levitate?

[vengefuldeath87]

im working on a lenz's law experiment where i am making an aluminum ring levitate on an iron pole, but I am not sure of the theory behind how it works, and what i should be writing about. any suggestions welcome.

First try using Google with "Lenz's Law" and see what you find. I would think that it would be discussed in your physics textbook.

One site - http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/electric/farlaw.html -relates Lenz's and Faraday's law.
