Magnetic Fields Review

Front

What will happen next?

Back

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

Front

What happens to the potential energy?

Back

The potential energy increases because Magnet 2 moves against the magnetic force.

Front

Which move will result in the greatest potential energy increase?

Back

Moving the cart on Track 2 one space to the right.

Front

Based on the magnetic field lines diagram, what will happen to these two sets of magnets?

Back

Set 1 magnets will repel, set 2 magnets will attract

Front

What will happen when these magnets are let go?

Back

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

Front

What happens to the potential energy in the system, when the magnetic train is moved away from the stationary magnet?

Back

The potential energy increases because the magnet is moved against the magnet force.

Front

Which movement will result in the greatest potential energy increase?

Back

Moving Car 2 one space toward the center magnet.

Front

A spaceship is traveling through space. Suddenly, its speed increases. What can you say about the kinetic energy of the spaceship?

Back

The kinetic energy increases as the speed increases.

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

Julia puts two magnetic toy trains very close to each other on a track. What will happen next, and why?

Back

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