Understanding Magnetism and Energy

What does the term "attract" mean in the context of magnets?

• To push objects away from one another

• To pull objects toward one another

• To change from one type to another

• To separate or set apart

What is an electromagnet?

• A type of magnet that uses a permanent magnetic field

• A type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current

• A magnet that cannot be turned off

• A magnet that repels all metals

What is kinetic energy?

• The energy stored in an object or system

• The energy that an object has because it is moving

• The ability to make things move or change

• A push or a pull that can change the motion of an object

What is the definition of "force"?

• A push or a pull that can change the motion of an object

• The energy that is stored in an object or system

• The space around a magnet in which magnetic forces can act on objects

• A line that connects opposite magnetic poles

What does "isolate" mean?

• To pull objects toward one another

• To change from one type to another

• To separate or set apart

• To provide evidence that goes against a claim

What is a magnetic field?

• The energy that is stored in an object or system

• The space around a magnet in which magnetic forces can act on objects

• A push or a pull that can change the motion of an object

• A line that connects opposite magnetic poles

What is a magnetic field line?

• A line that connects opposite magnetic poles and represents the strength and direction of the magnetic field

• A type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current

• The energy that an object has because it is moving

• A set of interacting parts forming a complex whole

What is a magnetic pole?

• The energy that is stored in an object or system

• One of the two opposite ends of a magnet

• A push or a pull that can change the motion of an object

• The ability to make things move or change

What is the purpose of a model?

• To provide evidence that goes against a claim

• To help us understand something by making it simpler or easier to see

• To separate or set apart

• To move from one object to another or one place to another

What is potential energy?

• The energy that an object has because it is moving

• The energy that is stored in an object or system

• The ability to make things move or change

• A push or a pull that can change the motion of an object
