Amplify Magnetic Fields

Front

What happens when two magnets are brought close together?

Back

They can either attract or repel each other depending on their poles. Opposite poles attract, while like poles repel.

Front

What is the direction of the magnetic field lines?

Back

Magnetic field lines emerge from the north pole and enter the south pole of a magnet.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. It increases as the speed of the object increases.

Front

What is potential energy in the context of magnets?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in a system due to the position of objects, such as the distance between magnets.

Front

What happens to the potential energy when a magnetic object is moved closer to a magnet?

Back

The potential energy increases as the object is moved closer to the magnet.

Front

What is the role of magnetic poles?

Back

Magnetic poles determine how magnets interact with each other; like poles repel and opposite poles attract.

Front

How can you identify the north pole of a magnet?

Back

The north pole of a magnet is the end that points towards the Earth's magnetic north when freely suspended.

Front

What is the relationship between speed and kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy increases with the square of the speed; as speed doubles, kinetic energy increases by four times.

Front

What is a magnetic field?

Back

A magnetic field is the region around a magnet where magnetic forces can be detected.

Front

What is the effect of distance on magnetic force?

Back

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