Amplify Magnetic Fields Pre-Assessment

Front

What happens when two like poles of magnets are brought close together?

Back

The magnets will repel each other.

Front

What happens when two opposite poles of magnets are brought close together?

Back

The magnets will attract each other.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion.

Front

What happens to the speed of an object when its kinetic energy decreases?

Back

The speed of the object decreases.

Front

What is potential energy in the context of magnets?

Back

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

Front

What happens to potential energy when a magnet is moved closer to another magnet of the same pole?

Back

The potential energy decreases.

Front

What happens to potential energy when a magnet is moved closer to another magnet of the opposite pole?

Back

The potential energy increases.

Front

What is the relationship between kinetic energy and speed?

Back

Kinetic energy is directly related to the speed of an object; as speed increases, kinetic energy increases.

Front

What is the effect of moving a magnet against the magnetic force?

Back

The potential energy in the system increases.

Front

What is the effect of moving a magnet in the same direction as the magnetic force?

Back

The potential energy in the system decreases.
