Front

What happens to the magnetic potential energy of magnets when two North poles (N) get close?

Back

Increases

Front

What happens to the potential energy of magnets as a North (N) and South (S) pole get close?

Back

Decreases

Front

If you push positive same charged particles together, do they have more or less electrical potential energy?

Back

More

Front

Which magnet pair has the MOST magnetic potential energy?

Back

The S/S at the bottom because they are close.

Front

Define electrical potential energy.

Back

The energy stored due to the position of charged particles in an electric field.

Front

Define magnetic potential energy.

Back

The energy stored due to the position of magnetic poles in a magnetic field.

Front

What is the effect of distance on electrical potential energy between two charges?

Back

Electrical potential energy increases as the distance between opposite charges increases.

Front

What happens to the magnetic potential energy when opposite poles (N and S) are brought closer together?

Back

It decreases.

Front

What is the relationship between charge and electrical potential energy?

Back

More charge results in higher electrical potential energy.
