What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or arrangement. For example, a car at the top of a hill has potential energy because of its height.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion. It depends on the mass of the object and its speed.

Front

How does the distance from a magnet affect potential energy?

Back

The potential energy increases as an object moves closer to a magnet due to the magnetic force acting on it.

Front

What happens to kinetic energy when an object's speed increases?

Back

The kinetic energy increases as the speed of the object increases.

Front

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

Back

In a system of magnets, some potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy when the magnets move.

Front

What occurs when two magnets are brought close together?

Back

When two magnets are brought close together, they can either attract or repel each other depending on their poles.

Front

What is a magnetic field?

Back

A magnetic field is the area around a magnet where magnetic forces can be felt. It is represented by field lines.

Front

What happens to magnets when they are released from a close position?

Back

When magnets are released from a close position, they will move away from each other if they repel, or move closer if they attract.

Front

What is the effect of magnetic force on moving magnets?

Back

Magnetic force can cause moving magnets to accelerate, change direction, or stop depending on the interaction between their poles.

Front

What are magnetic poles?

Back

Magnetic poles are the ends of a magnet where the magnetic force is strongest. Every magnet has a north and a south pole.
