Maglev for Students
Kraftmakher, Yaakov
European Journal of Physics, v29 n4 p663-669 Jul 2008
An experiment and a demonstration concerning transport by magnetic levitation (Maglev) are described. The lift, drag and radial forces on a magnet placed over a rotating conducting disc are measured versus the rotation frequency. The experiment relates to important topics of electromagnetism and could be a useful addition to the undergraduate physics laboratory. The clearly seen electrodynamic suspension is an attractive classroom demonstration. (Contains 4 figures.)
