The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion (A) and reason (R) provided: **Assertion (A):** Superconducting magnets are gainfully exploited in running magnetically levitated superfast trains. **Reason (R):** Superconductors are diamagnetic substances which get repelled by strong external magnetic fields. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A):** - Superconducting magnets are indeed used in magnetically levitated (maglev) trains. These trains utilize the principles of magnetism to achieve levitation and propulsion. - In maglev trains, superconducting magnets create a magnetic field that allows the train to float above the tracks, eliminating friction and allowing for high speeds. 2. **Explaining the Mechanism:** - Maglev trains operate on the principle of magnetic levitation. They use superconducting magnets that are capable of producing strong magnetic fields. - The train is levitated above the track, which is also equipped with magnets, allowing for both lift and propulsion. 3. **Understanding the Reason (R):** - The reason states that superconductors are diamagnetic substances. This means they exhibit perfect diamagnetism, which allows them to be repelled by external magnetic fields. - When a superconductor is placed in a magnetic field, it will expel the magnetic field lines (Meissner effect), leading to repulsion from the magnetic field. 4. **Connecting A and R:** - The assertion is true because superconducting magnets are effectively used in maglev trains. - The reason is also true as superconductors are indeed diamagnetic and are repelled by strong magnetic fields. - The repulsion is essential for the levitation of the train, as it allows the train to float above the track. 5. **Conclusion:** - Both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) are correct, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. ### Final Answer: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
