Would any of you kindly enlighten me about magnetic levitation. I'm interested in knowing its working and its existing applications in todays context other than maglev trains.

Dear student,

The levitation process is quite remarkable. Since the levitating currents in the superconductor meet no resistance, they can adjust almost instantly to maintain the levitation. The suspended magnet can be moved, put into oscillation, or even spun rapidly and the levitation currents will adjust to keep it in suspension.
