Science Buddies: Abracadabra! Levitating With Eddy Currents!
Did you know that not all trains run on tracks? Some of the world's fastest trains are magnetic levitation trains (maglev). This means that the carriage of the train is suspended over the rails with no support, but only with magnetic...

Teach Engineering: Changing Fields
This lesson plan begins with an activity in which students induce EMF in a coil of wire using magnetic fields. Then, demonstrations on Eddy currents show how a magnetic field can slow magnets just as Eddy currents are used to slow large...

Magnet Academy: Inductive Reactance
Like resistance, reactance slows an electrical current down. Explained by Lenz's Law, this phenomenon occurs only in AC circuits. (Java tutorial)
CK-12 Foundation
Ck 12: Electromagnetic Induction
[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In order to understand electromagnetic induction, students are introduced to magnetic flux, to Faraday's Law of Induction, and to Lenz's Law. Includes a simulation...

Florida State University: Lenz's Law
Lenz's Law is defined and demonstrated with an interactive Java applet that shows the relationship between field lines of a magnetic and a conductor ring.
Georgia State University
Georgia State University: Hyper Physics: Diamagnetism
This site from the Georgia State University provides a brief introduction to diamagnetism, explaining how Lenz's law accounts for diamagnetic behavior in all materials.
