What is magnetic levitation?

Back

A technology that lifts and suspends objects using magnetic forces, either through repulsion or attraction, without physical contact.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Where is the principle of magnetic levitation widely used?

Back

In maglev trains, magnetic bearings, and experimental hover systems.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How efficient levitation is achieved?

Back

Superconducting and high-power electromagnets enhance levitation strength.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How balanced levitation is achieved?

Back

The levitating object must have a balanced center of mass to prevent tilting or instability.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Electromagnets

Back

An electromagnet is a type of magnet that creates a magnetic field when an electric current flows through a coil of wire wrapped around a metal core, usually iron.
