Amplify Magnetic Fields Review

Front

What is a magnet?

Back

A magnet is an object that produces a magnetic field, which can attract or repel certain materials, such as iron.

Front

What are the two types of magnetic poles?

Back

The two types of magnetic poles are North and South poles. Like poles repel each other, while opposite poles attract.

Front

What happens when two magnets are brought close together?

Back

They can either attract or repel each other depending on the orientation of their poles.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object or system due to its position or arrangement.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy that an object has because it is moving.

Front

How does magnetic force affect potential energy?

Back

Magnetic force can change potential energy into kinetic energy when magnets are released and begin to move.

Front

What is the relationship between potential energy and height?

Back

Potential energy increases with height; the higher an object is, the more potential energy it has.

Front

What is the effect of distance on magnetic force?

Back

The magnetic force decreases as the distance between two magnets increases.

Front

What is the principle of conservation of energy?

Back

The principle of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

Front

What is the formula for calculating potential energy?

Back

Potential energy (PE) = mass (m) × gravitational acceleration (g) × height (h).
