Maglev is a contraction of Magnetic Levitation. Magnets of the same polarity are used to levitate the train so that there is no friction between train and rail. Electromagnets of opposing polarity are switched on in sequence ahead of the train to pull it forward.

How does magnetism keep the cars suspended on a maglev train?

Maglev trains use powerful magnets to create a magnetic field that repels the train from the tracks, allowing for levitation and propulsion. The system keeps the train hovering at a specific distance from the track, reducing friction and allowing for high-speed travel.


Does the bullet train use magnetism?

Yes, some bullet trains use magnetism in a technology called magnetic levitation (maglev). Maglev trains use magnetic forces to levitate above the tracks and propel them forward, minimizing friction and allowing for faster speeds.


Write short note on maglev trains?

Maglev (short for magnetic levitation) trains are trains utilizing [electro]magnetism and superconductors to float train cars that would not require the use of traditional rails which are a source of friction in many current generation high-speed railcars.
