Did you know Frogs can fly?

Electricity and Magnetism Level 2

A frog can levitate if it has a strong magnetic field below it.
This is possible because the body of the frog behaves as

Frogs can levitate because they have a high water content, which is a good diamagnetic material.

The ground creates a very large electric current to create an extremely strong magnetic field which magnetises the frog in such a way that its magnetisation is in the opposite direction to the applied field. This means that the frog is pushed up from a region of high magnetic field into one of lower field, and levitates.

A diamagnetic material tends to be away from magnetic field as magnetic field is below and frog is flying implies it has diamagnetic nature to oppose it

A frog can levitate if it has a strong magnetic field below it, because the body of the frog behaves like a diamagnetically.
