Amplify Magnetic Fields Chapter 2 Review

Front

What is the area of magnetic force around a magnet called?

Back

Magnetic field.

Front

What happens when two north poles of a magnet are placed together?

Back

They repel.

Front

Which movement increases potential energy the most when moving a magnetic cart towards a magnet?

Back

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

Front

What is the effect of moving a magnetic cart one space to the left on Track 2?

Back

It decreases potential energy compared to moving it to the right.

Front

What is potential energy in the context of magnets?

Back

The stored energy in a system due to the position of magnets relative to each other.

Front

What is the difference between potential energy and kinetic energy?

Back

Potential energy is stored energy based on position, while kinetic energy is the energy of motion.

Front

What is magnetic declination?

Back

The angle between magnetic north and true north.

Front

What are magnetic fan lines?

Back

Imaginary lines that represent the direction of magnetic force in a magnetic field.

Front

What is the result of placing a north pole and a south pole of a magnet together?

Back

They attract.

Front

What is the significance of the distance between magnets in terms of potential energy?

Back

The greater the distance, the lower the potential energy; the closer they are, the higher the potential energy.
