Amplify Magnetic Fields Review

Front

What happens when two magnets are brought close together?

Back

They can either attract or repel each other depending on their poles. Opposite poles attract, while like poles repel.

Front

What is potential energy in the context of magnets?

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in a system due to the position of the magnets relative to each other. It increases when magnets are moved against the magnetic force.

Front

What occurs when a magnet is moved toward another magnet that cannot move?

Back

The potential energy in the system increases if the moving magnet is moving against the magnetic force.

Front

What is the effect of magnetic force on stationary magnets?

Back

Stationary magnets can exert a force on each other, causing them to either attract or repel based on their orientation.

Front

What is the role of magnetic field lines?

Back

Magnetic field lines visually represent the direction and strength of a magnetic field. They show how magnets will interact with each other.

Front

What happens to the potential energy when magnets are moved closer together?

Back

The potential energy decreases when magnets are moved closer together if they are attracting each other.

Front

What is the difference between attraction and repulsion in magnets?

Back

Attraction occurs when opposite poles of magnets come together, while repulsion occurs when like poles face each other.

Front

How does distance affect the magnetic force between two magnets?

Back

The magnetic force decreases as the distance between two magnets increases.

Front

What is a magnetic pole?

Back

A magnetic pole is one of the two ends of a magnet where the magnetic force is strongest. Every magnet has a north and a south pole.

Front

What happens when two north poles of magnets are brought together?

Back

They will repel each other.
