If you have two magnets they each have a north and south pole. The opposite poles will attract and the same poles will repel. Maglev trains create magnet fields on the track bed and the train of the same polarity. By controlling the generating of the fields you can hold up the train and propel it forward.
Since the train is not actually touching a track there is no appreciable friction except that caused by the surrounding air. In a vacuum you would have no friction.
What else can I help you with?
Why is the maglev train called the maglev train?
maglev is short for Magnetic Levitation.
Why the maglev train is much quieter and uses less energy?
No contact with the ground (thus less friction).
What does maglev stand for?
Maglev stands for Magnetic Levitation (primarily used in trains) it refers to how they use the repulsion of electromagets to "fly" from 1cm - 10cm above an electromagnetic track (guideway) the applications are mainly for highspeed transport because as there is no friction, these trains have a record speed of 518km/h (311mph).
When were maglev trains first being used?
MagLev trains were first designed by a German man named Hermann Kemper. he was the first man to design and patent a MagLev train. The first MagLev train to be built and used was designed by Thyssen Henschel, another German, in the 1970's. The first passenger-carrying MagLev train was introduced in 1979 at the International Transportation Exposition in Hamburg, Germany. Thus began the MagLev train.
What is the force that lifts up and moves maglev trains?
It cannot. The magnets used for a maglev train must be engineered and built at very tight tolerances to allow a maglev train to function. Each magnet is specifically built for the maglev train, they cannot be "strengthened" versions of a magnet not made specifically for the train.
How does the property of a maglev train helps to decrese friction?
No two solids ever touch in a maglev.
When maglev train is lifted which force reduce?
Friction. Oonce the train is clear of the track, there is no friction to slow it down.
What kind of friction that maglev train still has to overcome?
Air resistance.
Where is their friction on a maglev train?
Friction on a maglev train primarily occurs at the contact point between the train's magnetic levitation system and the track, as well as between moving parts such as wheels and bearings. Additionally, air resistance can also create some friction as the train moves through the air at high speeds.
How does friction impact the speed of a magel train?
Friction between the magnetic levitation system and the track can slow down a maglev train by producing resistance. Minimizing friction is key to maintaining the high speeds that maglev trains are capable of achieving. Through advancements in technology and design, engineers aim to reduce friction to optimize the speed and efficiency of maglev trains.
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.
What are the four forces of a Maglev train?
All i know is 2 Friction and gravity :) xx
How the maglev train help to reduce friction?
It floats, thus no physical contact ... except with air.
Why is the maglev train called the maglev train?
maglev is short for Magnetic Levitation.
Why the maglev train is much quieter and uses less energy?
No contact with the ground (thus less friction).
What does the magnetism do in maglev trains?
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.
