What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or configuration, often related to gravitational or magnetic forces.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion, which depends on its mass and velocity.

Front

How is energy transferred from potential to kinetic?

Back

Energy is transferred from potential to kinetic when an object moves from a position of stored energy to a position of motion, such as a falling object.

Front

What happens to potential energy when a magnet moves against a magnetic force?

Back

The potential energy increases because work is done against the magnetic force.

Front

What happens to potential energy when a magnet moves in the same direction as a magnetic force?

Back

The potential energy decreases because the magnet is moving with the force, losing stored energy.

Front

How do magnets store potential energy?

Back

Magnets store potential energy by being positioned in a magnetic field, especially when moved against the magnetic force.

Front

What is the relationship between potential and kinetic energy in a system of magnets?

Back

In a system of magnets, potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy when magnets are released and allowed to move.

Front

What occurs when two magnets are released after being held apart?

Back

The magnets will move away from each other due to the repulsive or attractive forces acting on them.

Front

What is the effect of magnetic force on the movement of magnets?

Back

Magnetic force can cause magnets to either attract or repel each other, influencing their movement.

Front

What is the principle of conservation of energy in a magnetic system?

Back

The principle states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from potential to kinetic energy and vice versa.
