Amplify Magnetic Fields Review

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

The energy that is stored in an object or system.

Front

What happens to potential energy when Magnet 2 moves against the magnetic force?

Back

The potential energy increases.

Front

Will two like poles of magnets attract or repel each other?

Back

Repel.

Front

What happens when two magnets are let go if they are repelling each other?

Back

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

Front

What is the definition of a magnetic force?

Back

The force exerted by magnets when they attract or repel each other.

Front

What happens to potential energy when Magnet 2 moves in the same direction as the magnetic force?

Back

The potential energy decreases.

Front

What is the effect of distance on the magnetic force between two magnets?

Back

As the distance increases, the magnetic force decreases.

Front

What is the relationship between magnetic poles and their interaction?

Back

Opposite poles attract, while like poles repel.

Front

What is an example of potential energy in a magnetic system?

Back

A magnet held at a distance from another magnet has potential energy due to the magnetic force.

Front

How does the magnetic force affect the motion of magnets?

Back

The magnetic force can either pull magnets together or push them apart.
