Trains can be made which levitate over a track by magnetic forces, so that friction is eliminated (except air friction), and the electrical power which produces the levitation force can also produce forward motion.

An electromagnet is made with a core of iron and a winding of electrical wire, when a current is passed this produces a strong magnet which can lift metals that are magnetically attracted, like steel for instance, but not aluminum or some other metals that are not magnetically attracted.

Yes. Electromagnets move solid metal objects. Electrostatic charge moves solid objects in electrostatic scrubbers.etc.

F= ma = eE where E is the electric field and e the charge. acceleration a = eE/m.

I do belive so because all wire has metal and if the two ends are connected energy will flow but if the two ends are not connected and lightning strikes the metal the electricity will have no where to travel.After the strike and a few minites you touch the metal you will get shoked.But still my answer might not be right but it makes alot of sence dont you fink so too?

metal can conduct both heat and electricity.


Is electricity a metal?

Electricity is not a metal; it is the flow of electrons. In static electricity, the particles in an object try to neutralize each other, which causes a shock when touched. Metals like copper are great conductors of electricity, and can be drawn in electrical wires.

To electricity and magnetism What do we mean when we say that the object is been grounded?

It is at zero potential A grounded object is an object which has a path for the electricity to "complete the circuit." The object should be safe to touch, if it is grounded.


Why does metal attract electricity?

because they are conductors and conductors allow the electrons to flow around freely in the object (conductor). and also, why not?
