What happens to potential energy when a magnet is moved against the magnetic force?

Back

The potential energy increases.

Front

What does it mean to attract in terms of magnetic forces?

Back

To pull objects toward one another.

Front

What happens to potential energy when a magnetic object is moved away from a magnet?

Back

The potential energy increases because it moves against the magnetic force.

Front

What occurs when two magnets with the same poles face each other?

Back

The magnets will repel each other.

Front

What is a magnetic field?

Back

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

Front

What are magnetic field lines?

Back

Imaginary lines that represent the strength and direction of a magnetic field.

Front

What is the relationship between distance and magnetic force?

Back

As the distance between two magnets increases, the magnetic force decreases.

Front

What is potential energy in the context of magnets?

Back

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