  1. Question 1

    Q1. A 32-year-old engineer is designing a magnetic levitation system. What is the main concept behind this technology?

    • A) Electromagnetic induction
    • B) Magnetic resonance
    • C) Faraday's law of electrolysis
    • D) Lorentz force

    Answer: Lorentz force

    Explanation: The Lorentz force is the force acting on a moving charge in a magnetic field, making it the main concept behind magnetic levitation. Electromagnetic induction is a related phenomenon, magnetic resonance is a nuclear spin phenomenon, and Faraday's law of electrolysis relates to electrolysis.
