What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or configuration, often related to its height or distance from other objects.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion, which depends on its mass and velocity.

Front

How does magnetic force affect energy in a system of magnets?

Back

Magnetic force can convert potential energy into kinetic energy when magnets move.

Front

What happens to potential energy when magnets are moved against the magnetic force?

Back

The potential energy increases because work is done against the magnetic force.

Front

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

Back

Potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy when magnets are released and allowed to move.

Front

What is the effect of moving a magnet away from another magnet?

Back

Moving a magnet away from another magnet increases the potential energy in the system.

Front

What is the significance of the direction of movement in a magnetic field?

Back

The direction of movement can determine whether potential energy increases or decreases in a magnetic field.

Front

How can magnets cause objects to have kinetic energy?

Back

A magnetic force can convert potential energy stored in a magnetic field into kinetic energy.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy (KE) = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What is the formula for calculating potential energy?

Back

Potential energy (PE) = mgh, where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.
