    Maglev Train
AI Thread Summary
Superconductors play a crucial role in maglev train technology by allowing trains to levitate above tracks using magnetic fields. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding the terms "mag" (magnetic) and "lev" (levitation) in this context. Regular conductors like copper cannot achieve the same levitation effects as superconductors. The interaction between permanent magnets and their arrangement is also essential for creating the necessary magnetic fields for levitation. Overall, superconductors and magnetic fields work together to enable the efficient operation of maglev trains.

Hello, I have a problem connecting an answer to the question Describe how superconductors and the effects of magnetic fields have been applied to develop a maglev train.

I have the information on the superconductors, but i don't have the information of the maginetic field how it is applied.

I tried to connect how it does but i never get the right information.

and its great to be here on PF

and a new person at physic's

it sounds like an essay ... start by what the "mag" and "lev" mean.

can regular (copper) conductors make a big thing lev?

can a permanent magnet levitate another one?
(that should clue you about the mag.field and pole arrangement)
 
Thank you lightgrav for the help i answered it great

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
