Amplify Magnetic Fields Review

Front

What happens to the potential energy in a system of magnets when a magnetic toy train moves away from a stationary magnet?

Back

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

Front

What will happen when two magnetic toy trains are placed very close to each other?

Back

The trains will move away from each other because the magnetic force will push the trains apart.
