As captioned in my textbook: "An overhead view of a frog that is being levitated in a magnetic field produced by current in a vertical solenoid below the frog. (The frog is not in discomfort; the sensation is like floating in water, which frogs like very much.) |

( Because not everything has to be exams and final projects, gee dee ai. Sometimes there are frogs. )
