    Activity 1. Maglev Trains.

    The figure below shows the maglev train structures (Transpid Guideway and MLX Guideway) compared
    to the standard railway system.

    In order to function as a maglev train, it needs the essential parts. These are levitation, propulsion, and
    suspension.
    The train travels at 93 mph, which could build a stronger magnetic field, allowing the train to be lifted
    (levitated) 4 inches off the ground. The magnetic forces are needed for guidance, so the train moves
    forward and stays at the center. Maglev train technology holds great promises in terms of
    transportation. The benefits it could offer are hard for us to deny. This transportation breakthrough has
    provided us an opportunity to bring science fiction ideas into reality.

    (1) What makes the levitation, guidance, and suspension work?

    (2) How do magnets move other magnets? Do magnets need to touch each other?

    (3) From your experience in dealing with magnetic materials, why do you think the three elements
    mentioned in item 1 relate to each other?

    (4) Write at least 3 advantages of building maglev trains.

    (5) Based on your prior knowledge in studying magnetism and other related Physics concepts, cite at
    least 1 disadvantage of maglev trains. Explain

    (6) The Earth is said to be a magnet itself. Why is it that maglev trains are not affected by the
    phenomena?
