Amplify Magnetic Fields Pre-Assessment

Front

What is potential energy in a magnetic system?

Back

Potential energy in a magnetic system is the energy stored due to the position of magnets relative to each other, which can change based on their distance and orientation.

Front

What is kinetic energy in a magnetic system?

Back

Kinetic energy in a magnetic system is the energy of motion that magnets possess when they move due to magnetic forces.

Front

What happens to potential energy when two magnets move closer together?

Back

The potential energy decreases as the magnets move closer together, as they are moving in the direction of the magnetic force.

Front

What happens to kinetic energy when magnets are released from a distance?

Back

Some potential energy converts into kinetic energy, causing the magnets to move faster as they approach each other.

Front

What is the relationship between magnetic force and potential energy?

Back

Magnetic force affects potential energy; moving against the magnetic force increases potential energy, while moving with it decreases potential energy.

Front

What occurs when two like poles of magnets are brought close together?

Back

The magnets will repel each other due to the like poles, resulting in a force that pushes them apart.

Front

What occurs when two opposite poles of magnets are brought close together?

Back

The magnets will attract each other due to the opposite poles, resulting in a force that pulls them together.

Front

How does distance affect the magnetic force between two magnets?

Back

As the distance between two magnets increases, the magnetic force decreases, leading to a decrease in potential energy.

Front

What is a magnetic field line diagram?

Back

A magnetic field line diagram visually represents the direction and strength of a magnetic field around a magnet, showing how magnets will interact.

Front

What is the effect of moving a magnet against the magnetic force?

Back

Moving a magnet against the magnetic force increases the potential energy in the system.
