Amplify Magnetic Fields Chapter 2

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Stored energy based on position.

Front

When the magnets move away from each other (repel), do they have potential or kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy.

Front

The closer repelling magnets, the more the potential energy. True or False?

Back

True.

Front

A magnetic force is needed to store potential energy in a magnetic field. True or False?

Back

True.

Front

When a magnet is moved in the direction of the magnetic field, what happens to its potential energy?

Back

The potential energy decreases.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Energy of motion.

Front

How does distance affect potential energy in a magnetic field?

Back

The potential energy increases as magnets get closer.

Front

What is the relationship between magnetic force and potential energy?

Back

Magnetic force can store potential energy.

Front

What happens to kinetic energy when magnets attract each other?

Back

Kinetic energy increases as they move closer.

Front

What is the formula for calculating potential energy?

Back

Potential Energy (PE) = mgh (mass x gravity x height).
