what causes a maglev train to hover above the track

Attractive, Magnetic force

Electric current

Repellent, magnetic force

Massive batteries

1 answer

The correct answer is Repellent, magnetic force. Maglev trains use powerful magnets to create a magnetic field that causes the train to levitate above the tracks, eliminating the need for wheels. The magnetic field is created by superconducting magnets on the train and electrical coils on the track, which repel each other, keeping the train hovering above the track. This allows for faster and more efficient travel, as there is less friction and resistance between the train and the track.
