    Actually, yes. They will follow the motor principle. The tracks act as the field coils and the coils below the train, which give them the lift, also get pulled by the varying field.

    There are no wheels in a maglev. They are just armature windings. Just like the conventional motors. In motors, they are arranged in a circular fashion, but in this case, they are just laid straight.
