Magnetic Fields Review

Front

What type of energy do magnets have when held in place and not allowed to attract or repel?

Back

Potential energy.

Front

Is a magnetic force needed to store potential energy in a magnetic field?

Back

True.

Front

When does potential energy increase in magnets: when moving against or with the magnetic field?

Back

Against the magnetic field.

Front

What happens to potential energy when repelling magnets are brought closer together?

Back

The potential energy increases.

Front

Which direction should a magnet be moved to increase potential energy: to the right or to the left?

Back

To the left.

Front

What is a magnetic field?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between distance and magnetic force?

Back

The magnetic force decreases as the distance between magnets increases.

Front

What happens to potential energy when two like poles of magnets are brought closer together?

Back

Potential energy increases.

Front

What is kinetic energy in the context of magnets?

Back

The energy of motion when magnets are moving.

Front

What is the effect of increasing the strength of a magnetic field on potential energy?

Back

It increases the potential energy.
