Question

What needs to be the relation between the two forces to cause the upper magnet to float without moving?

Answer 1

Answer:

If it points the other way, the fields subtract, for a lower energy, and so the magnet prefers to turn to point in this way. Magnets in uniform fields feel torques which make them turn around if they are not pointing in the right direction, but there is no net force making the magnet want to levitate.
