How do electromagnets cause the maglev train to levitate above the track

Answer 1

The maglev train uses powerful electromagnets to create a magnetic field that repels against another magnetic field generated by the track. This repulsion creates a levitation effect that allows the train to float above the track without touching it. The electromagnets are controlled by a computer system that adjusts the strength of the magnetic field to maintain the desired distance between the train and the track. This technology eliminates the need for wheels and allows for a smooth and frictionless ride.
