Electricity and the use of a super-conductor magnet system provides both lift (levitation) and provides the power and thrust for forward motion, which is also used in the braking systems. Hence the word, maglev (magnetic levitation)

Why is that a maglev train is faster than a normal train?

Maglev trains are faster than normal trains because they use magnetic levitation to reduce friction between the train and the tracks, allowing them to reach higher speeds. Additionally, maglev trains do not have wheels, which eliminates the rolling resistance experienced by traditional trains on tracks.
