What is the definition of Potential Energy?

Back

Potential Energy is the energy that is stored in an object or system due to its position or configuration.

Front

What happens to Potential Energy when two magnets are brought closer together?

Back

The potential energy increases because one magnet moves against the magnetic force.

Front

What is the term for the force that causes two magnets to push away from each other?

Back

Repel.

Front

In the context of magnets, what is Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy is the energy of an object in motion, which can result from the conversion of potential energy.

Front

What is the relationship between Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy in a system of magnets?

Back

Some potential energy changes into kinetic energy when the magnetic force causes two magnets to move.

Front

How does moving a magnetic cart one space to the right affect its Potential Energy?

Back

Moving the cart on Track 2 one space to the right results in the largest increase in potential energy.

Front

What is the effect of magnetic force on the movement of magnets?

Back

Magnetic force can either attract or repel magnets, affecting their potential and kinetic energy.

Front

What is the principle behind the increase of Potential Energy in a magnetic system?

Back

Potential Energy increases when an object is moved against the direction of the magnetic force.

Front

What is the significance of the position of magnets in determining Potential Energy?

Back

The position of magnets relative to each other determines the amount of potential energy stored in the system.

Front

What happens to the Potential Energy of a magnet when it is released from a position of higher potential?

Back

When released, the potential energy converts to kinetic energy as the magnet moves.
