Amplify Magnetic Fields Review (ch 1 and 2)

Front

What happens to the energy in a system of magnets when the magnetic force causes two magnets to move?

Back

Some of the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy that an object has because it is moving.

Front

How do you determine if two magnets will attract or repel each other?

Back

By looking at the orientation of their magnetic field lines; like poles repel and opposite poles attract.

Front

What will happen when two magnets are released from a position where they are close together?

Back

The magnets will move away from each other because the magnetic force will push them apart.

Front

What is the role of magnetic field lines in understanding magnet behavior?

Back

Magnetic field lines indicate the direction and strength of the magnetic field, helping to predict interactions between magnets.

Front

What is the definition of a magnetic field?

Back

A magnetic field is a region around a magnet where magnetic forces can be detected.

Front

What happens to the magnetic field when two magnets are brought close together?

Back

The magnetic fields interact, leading to either attraction or repulsion depending on the orientation of the magnets.

Front

What is the relationship between potential energy and kinetic energy in a magnetic system?

Back

Potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy when magnets move due to magnetic forces.

Front

What is the significance of the north and south poles of a magnet?

Back

The north pole of one magnet will attract the south pole of another magnet, while like poles repel each other.

Front

How can you visualize the strength of a magnetic field?

Back

The strength of a magnetic field can be visualized using the density of magnetic field lines; closer lines indicate a stronger field.
