Magnetic Fields Student Review

Front

What happens to potential energy when a magnetic object moves against the magnetic force?

Back

The potential energy increases.

Front

What happens to potential energy when a magnetic object moves in the same direction as the magnetic force?

Back

The potential energy decreases.

Front

What is the effect of moving a magnetic object away from a magnet?

Back

The potential energy of the system increases.

Front

What is the effect of moving a magnetic object toward a magnet?

Back

The potential energy of the system decreases.

Front

What determines the direction of magnetic force between two magnets?

Back

Like poles repel each other, while opposite poles attract.

Front

What will happen if two identical magnetic objects are placed close to each other?

Back

They will either attract or repel each other depending on their poles.

Front

What is a magnetic field?

Back

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

Front

How can you visualize magnetic fields?

Back

Magnetic fields can be visualized using magnetic field lines, which show the direction and strength of the field.

Front

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

Back

The field lines will either repel or attract depending on the orientation of the magnets.

Front

What is the relationship between distance and magnetic force?

Back

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