Amplify Magnetic Fields Review

Front

What happens to the potential energy when Magnet 2 moves against the magnetic force?

Back

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

Front

What do magnetic field lines indicate about the interaction between two magnets?

Back

They indicate whether the magnets will attract or repel each other.

Front

How is energy transferred when an object moves from a higher position to a lower position?

Back

Energy is transferred from Potential to Kinetic.

Front

Which move results in the greatest increase in potential energy?

Back

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

Front

What is a device that uses a free-moving magnetic needle to show direction?

Back

A compass.

Front

What is the definition of a magnetic field?

Back

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

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 push away from each other.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy of an object due to its motion.

Front

How can you increase the potential energy of an object?

Back

By raising its height or moving it against a force.
