Could anyone suggest an online-reference about the basics? I'm trying to figure out whether there would be such buoyancy in a complicated situation.

Magnetic buoyancy is the phenomenon where a magnetic object experiences an upward force when placed in a magnetic field. This is due to the interaction between the magnetic field and the magnetic dipole moment of the object.
Magnetic buoyancy works by the magnetic field lines exerting a force on the magnetic object, causing it to move in the direction of the field. This is similar to how a buoyant object will float in a fluid due to the force of gravity.
Magnetic buoyancy has various applications in industries such as transportation, medicine, and renewable energy. It is used in magnetic levitation trains, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines, and magnetic bearings for wind turbines.
The strength of magnetic buoyancy is determined by the strength of the magnetic field, the magnetic properties of the object, and the angle between the object and the field. This can be calculated using mathematical equations or measured experimentally.
Yes, there are limitations to magnetic buoyancy. The strength of the magnetic field must be strong enough to overcome the weight and any other forces acting on the object. Additionally, the object must have a strong enough magnetic dipole moment to experience a significant upward force.
