Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Maglev trains use magnets on the train and guideway to levitate the train off the track. The north pole of the magnets on the train must face the
A
south pole of the magnets on the guideway so they repel.
B
south pole of the magnets on the guideway so they attract.
C
north pole of the magnets on the guideway so they repel.
D
north pole of the magnets on the guideway so they attract.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Expert-Verified Answer. The north pole of the magnets on the Maglev train must face the north pole of the magnets on the guide-way so they repel. Magnet force: It is the force of attraction or repulsion between the magnets.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer: Maglevs incorporate a basic fact about magnetic forces-like magnetic poles repel each other, and opposite magnetic poles attract each other-to lift, propel, and guide a vehicle over a track (or guideway).

Detailed explanation-3: -Maglev train systems use powerful electromagnets to float the trains over a guideway, instead of the old steel wheel and track system. A system called electromagnetic suspension suspends, guides, and propels the trains. A large number of magnets provide controlled tension for lift and propulsion along a track.

Detailed explanation-4: -Maglev trains use magnetism to levitate above the tracks on which they travel.

Detailed explanation-5: -Electromagnetic suspension (EMS) uses the attractive force between magnets present on the train’s sides and underside and on the guideway to levitate the train. A variation on EMS, called Transrapid, employs an electromagnet to lift the train off the guideway.
