The wheels on a train are not magnetic. They are steel wheels and the use of steel helps to reduce friction and propel the train forward.

What is the principle of bullet train?
The principle that Bullet Train work on is Magnetic levitation and magnetic suspension. . .
How do you stop a magnetic train?
This presumes you refer to a maglev train by saying magnetic train. The propulsion of a maglev is essentially by linear induction propulsion. This is also in use on "people mover" systems. Braking is performed by the same systems that provide the propulsion, they simply operate to the reverse direction. For a maglev, there is also a settling system (such as wheels or skids) as it will also lose its lift. The settling system includes a form of brake as the speed decreases.
When does a train's brakes start exerting force on the train's wheels?
Assuming that the brakes are not "dragging" they start exerting force on the wheels when they are applied by the engineer.
Are the wheels of a steam train an example of oscillatory motion?
Not the wheels, but the piston rods are. The main rod - which connects the pistons and the wheels are an interesting combination.
How do the wheels on a steam train work?
The front ones help guide the loco into turns, the drive wheels move the whole train, and the trailing trucks hold up the firebox. Note that slow (switchers say) locos needed only drive wheels.
What train runs without wheels?
Maglev (magnetic levitation) trains run by way of a magnetic field generated by magnets embedded in the track. As such, they have little or no need for wheels.
Which trains do not have wheels?
Bullet train(dubai)These are known as MagLev trains. For Magnetic Levitation.
How can a train run without any friction between the rail and wheels?
By using the principle of magnetic levitation.
What is the difference between a train and electromagnetic train?
A typical train has wheels and rolls on metal rails. It's drive wheels are driven by a steam engine, a Diesel engine, or even electric motors powered by the rail system or overhead wires. An electromagnetic train, on the other hand, does not ride on wheels, or have an engine, per se. It is suspended from it's track by a powerful magnetic field generated by electro-magnets in the track and train. In addition to providing suspension of the train, the magnetic fields are used to propel the train itself, so it does not need an "engine" at all.
Are train tracks magnetic?
Train tracks are magnetic.
Is there any magnetic train in India?
no there is not a magnetic train in India
What kind of train is the Maglev?
The Maglev refers to a train that is vastly popular in the country of Japan. The train is powered by magnets and magnetic fields, as opposed to wheels and gasoline. These trains are capable of safely reaching speeds that traditional trains cannot.
Does a train in motion contact its tracks?
Yes, train wheels remain in contact with the track at all times. The tracks support the weight of the train. They also guide the train. The wheels are shaped such that the train remains balanced on them. Any slight movement of the wheels sideways is automatically corrected so that the wheels remains exactly on the middle of the rails. If the wheels were not in contact with the track, the train would be flying.
Why do this train is called palace of wheels?
the palace on wheels is a luxury train and the facilities provided by the train orators that is an extra ordinary experience of traveler so that train is know as palace on wheels for its unique experience of traveling.
What is the principle of bullet train?
The principle that Bullet Train work on is Magnetic levitation and magnetic suspension. . .
What parts of a train?
wheels
Why maglev train is faster than ordinary train?
Because there's no friction between the train and the track. In an 'ordinary' train, friction between the wheels and the rails takes a lot of energy to overcome before the train starts moving. In a Maglev train, the train itself actually 'floats' above the track on a 'cushion' of magnetic foirce. With no friction to slow it down, the train is capable of much higher speeds.
