Popularly called MegLev there are two different modes of operation. When the train is still at the station it can be held by magnets. In motion electromagnets are like an electric motor that has been flattened out. The stator on the ground ( the tracks ) and the rotor being the train. The train is confined with magnets and electromagnets. The linear motor can be in the train, "the tracks" or both. Preferable would be a combination with the tracks pushing and levitating the train along with permanent magnets. The train with balancing magnets and electromagnets to keep it in the track and going. There is a way of putting the magnets together with their fields at right angles to each other. This puts the magnetic force on one side.

How does lectromagnet work in loud speakers?

The electromagnet is a very important part of loud speakers. The electromagnet is always placed in the front of the magnet. When the electricity goes through the electromagnet the field is changed and this produces the vibrations in speakers.
