In this paper, we design magnetic levitation system that deals with the knowledge of electromagnetism and the control switching application. The concept of this design is to achieve the state of equilibrium where the magnetic attraction counterbalances the force of gravity pulling on an object. The control system in this design is formed by a PIC Microcontroller and several op-amps. Using photo sensors to provide a feedback loop, the control system employs a closed-loop control in controlling the current through the electromagnet.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
