Magnetic Forces Review 2

Front

What happens when two magnetic toy trains are placed close to each other?

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 when a magnetic toy train moves toward a stationary magnet?

Back

The potential energy decreases because the train moves in the same direction as the magnetic force.

Front

How does distance affect the magnetic force between two magnets?

Back

The magnetic force between two magnets gets weaker the more distance there is between them.

Front

Can the force of magnetism pass through materials?

Back

True, the force of magnetism can go through many materials.

Front

What is magnetic force?

Back

Magnetic force is the attraction or repulsion that arises between electrically charged particles due to their motion.

Front

What is potential energy in the context of magnets?

Back

Potential energy in magnets refers to the energy stored in the system due to the position of the magnets relative to each other.

Front

What happens to potential energy when a magnetic object moves against the magnetic force?

Back

The potential energy increases because work is done against the magnetic force.

Front

What is the relationship between magnetic force and distance?

Back

Magnetic force decreases as the distance between two magnets increases.

Front

What is an example of a material that can be affected by magnetic force?

Back

Iron is an example of a material that can be attracted by a magnet.

Front

What is the effect of like poles of magnets when brought close together?

Back

Like poles of magnets repel each other.
