Magler Train: This train is based on the Lenz law and phenomena oI electromagnetic induction. In this
there is a coil on a railway track and magnet on the base oI train. So as train is deviated then as is move
down coil on track repel it and as it move up then coil attract it.
Disadvantage oI magler train is that as it slow down the Iorces decreases and as it moves Iorward so due
to Lenz law coil attract it backward.
Due to motion oI train current induces in the coil oI track which levitate it.
Q.29 What is the advantage oI the train? |JEE 2006|
(A) Electrostatic Iorce draws the train (B) Gravitational Iorce is zero.
(C) Electromagnetic Iorce draws the train (D) Dissipative Iorce due to Iriction are absent
Q.30 What is the disadvantage oI the train?
(A) Train experience upward Iorce due to Lenz's law.
(B) Eriction Iorce create a drag on the train.
(C) Retardation
(D) By Lenz's law train experience a drag |JEE 2006|
Q.31 Which Iorce causes the train to elevate up
(A) Electrostatic Iorce (B) Time varying electric Iield
(C) magnetic Iorce (D) Induced electric Iield |JEE 2006|
