Paragraph -II
Advanced countries are making use of powerful electromagnets to move trains at very high
speed. These trains are called Maglev trains (abbreviated from magnetic levitation.) These trains
float on a guideway and do not run on steel rail tracks.
Insteand of using an engine based on conventional fuels like LPG, CNG, Deisel they make
use of magnetic field forces. The magnetized coils are arranged on the guideway which repel the
strong magnet placed under train’s carriage. This helps train move over the guideway, a
technique called Electrodynamic suspension. When current passes in the coils of guideway, a
typical magnetic field is set up between the under carriage of train and guideway which pushes
and pulls the train along the guideway depending on the requirement.
The lack of friction and its aerodynamic style allows the train to move at very high speed.

(A) Gravitational (B) Magnetic (C) Nuclear forces (D) Air drag
(144) The advantage of maglev train is .
(A) More friction (B) More pollution (C) Less pollution (D) Less friction
(145) The levitation of the train is due to .
(A) Mechanical force (B) Electrostatic attraction
(C) Electrostatic repulsion (D) Magnetic repulsion
