Induction furnace

Post by ashoom97 »

I have made a model on an induction furnace. It has a drawback. Can anyone please help me out?
Why does a plate kept on the coil of an induction furnace bounce when current is passed through the primary coil?

The induction coil produces a magnetic field and that may explain the bounce when the power is applied.
