Amplify Magnetic Fields Pre-Assessment

Front

What is potential energy in the context of magnetic fields?

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position in a magnetic field. It increases when magnets are moved against the magnetic force.

Front

What happens to potential energy when a magnet is moved closer to another magnet?

Back

The potential energy increases if the magnet is moved against the magnetic force.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion. It increases as the speed of the object increases.

Front

How does magnetic force affect kinetic energy?

Back

Magnetic force can convert potential energy into kinetic energy when magnets are released and allowed to move.

Front

What is the relationship between magnetic force and movement of magnets?

Back

Magnetic force can either attract or repel magnets, causing them to move closer together or further apart.

Front

What occurs when two magnets are brought close together?

Back

Depending on their orientation, they may either attract each other (if opposite poles are facing) or repel each other (if like poles are facing).

Front

What is the principle of magnetic attraction?

Back

Magnetic attraction occurs when opposite poles of magnets (north and south) come close to each other, pulling them together.

Front

What is the principle of magnetic repulsion?

Back

Magnetic repulsion occurs when like poles of magnets (north-north or south-south) come close to each other, pushing them apart.

Front

How does distance affect magnetic force?

Back

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

Front

What is a magnetic field?

Back

A magnetic field is the region around a magnet where magnetic forces can be detected and where other magnets or magnetic materials experience a force.
