Amplify Magnetic Fields Review

Front

What happens when two magnets are brought close together?

Back

They will repel each other.

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

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

How is energy being transferred when a magnet moves?

Back

Potential --> Kinetic

Front

Which type of energy is present when two magnets are at rest and not interacting?

Back

Neither

Front

What is a magnetic field?

Back

A region around a magnet where magnetic forces can be detected.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

The energy stored in an object due to its position or arrangement.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy an object possesses due to its motion.

Front

What is the principle of magnetic repulsion?

Back

Like poles of magnets repel each other, while opposite poles attract.

Front

How does distance affect the strength of a magnetic field?

Back

The strength of a magnetic field decreases as the distance from the magnet increases.
