The forces are only balanced when the cable is in the center of the electromagnet. When it's not in the center, it is pulled towards whatever part of the electromagnet is closest.
>We are talking about Foucault pendulums, anon.The same physics apply. The electromagnet in those clocks only pulls the pendulum towards itself. It doesn't have to physically move to pull in different directions on the left vs the right swing.
