Explore Energy Changes in Magnet Systems

Front

What is the definition of kinetic energy?

Back

The energy that an object has because it is moving.

Front

What happens to the potential energy when a magnetic train is moved away from a stationary magnet?

Back

The potential energy increases because the magnet is moved against the magnetic force.

Front

What is the effect of like poles of magnets on each other?

Back

Like poles repel each other.

Front

What is the effect of opposite poles of magnets on each other?

Back

Opposite poles attract each other.

Front

What is a magnetic field?

Back

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

Front

What happens to the magnetic force as the distance between two magnets increases?

Back

The magnetic force decreases as the distance increases.

Front

What is the role of magnetic field lines?

Back

They represent the direction and strength of the magnetic field.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

The energy that is stored in an object or system due to its position.

Front

What is the relationship between kinetic energy and speed?

Back

Kinetic energy increases with the square of the speed of an object.

Front

What is the principle of conservation of energy?

Back

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
