Amplify Magnetic Fields Ch 2 Flashcard

Front

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

Back

Potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy through the action of magnetic forces.

Front

How do magnets influence the kinetic energy of objects?

Back

Magnets can convert potential energy stored in a magnetic field into kinetic energy, causing objects to move.

Front

What happens to potential energy when a magnet is moved against a magnetic force?

Back

The potential energy increases as the magnet moves against the magnetic force.

Front

What occurs when two magnets are placed close to each other?

Back

Depending on their orientation, they will either attract or repel each other, affecting their potential and kinetic energy.

Front

What type of magnetic force occurs when two like poles are near each other?

Back

Repelling force.

Front

What type of magnetic force occurs when two opposite poles are near each other?

Back

Attracting force.

Front

In a magnetic field, what is the effect of increasing the distance between two magnets?

Back

The potential energy in the system decreases as the distance increases.

Front

What is the role of magnetic fields in energy transfer?

Back

Magnetic fields facilitate the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy.

Front

How does the motion of a magnet affect the energy in a magnetic system?

Back

The motion of a magnet can change the potential energy and kinetic energy in the system.

Front

What is the principle behind magnetic repulsion?

Back

Like poles of magnets repel each other due to the interaction of their magnetic fields.
