The levitation force as a function of the height of the small magnet above the center of the superconducting sphere for two different orientations of the magnetic moment of the magnet: along the z axis and in the xy plane. The following parameters have been used: the magnitude of the magnetic moment μ = 0.2 G·cm3, and R = 0.50 cm.
