DESCRIPTION:
The animation shows the magnetic field configuration
around a conducting non-magnetic ring as it falls under
gravity in the magnetic field of a fixed permanent magnet.
The current in the ring is indicated by the small moving
spheres. In this case, the ring is heavy and has zero
resistance, and falls past the magnet. The motions of
the field lines are in the direction of the local Poynting
flux vector.
