Modern trains are based on Maglev technology in which trains are magnetically leviated, which runs its EDS
Maglev system. There are coils on both sides of wheels. Due to motion of train, current induces in the coil of track
which levitate it. This is in accordance with Lenz’s law. If trains lower down then due to Lenz’s law a repulsive
force increase due to which train gets uplifted and if it goes much high then there is a net downward force due to
gravity. The advantage of Maglev train is that there is no friction between the train and the track, thereby
reducing power consumption and enabling the train to attain very high speed. Disadvantage of Maglev train is
that as it slows down the electromagnetic forces decreases and it become difficult to keep it levitated and as it

In a thin rectangular metallic strip a constant current I flows along the positive x-direction, as shown in the
figure. The length, width and thickness of the strip are l, w and d, respectively. A uniform magnetic field B is
applied on the strip along the positive y-direction. Due to this, the charge carriers experience a net deflection
along the z-direction. This results in accumulation of charge carriers on the surface PQRS and appearance of
equal and opposite charges on the face opposite to PQRS. A potential difference along the z-direction is thus
developed. Charge accumulation continues until the magnetic force is balanced by the electric force. The current
is assumed to be uniformly distributed on the cross section of the strip and carried by electrons. [2015]
