Amplify Magnetic Fields Chapter 2

Front

What is a magnetic force?

Back

A magnetic force is the attraction or repulsion that arises between electrically charged particles due to their motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Stored energy based on an object's position or configuration.

Front

How does mass affect kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy increases with mass; an object with more mass has more kinetic energy if moving at the same speed.

Front

When do magnets have the most potential energy?

Back

When they are close to each other, especially if they are repelling.

Front

What happens to potential energy when a magnetic force moves against the magnetic field?

Back

Potential energy increases.

Front

What is the relationship between magnetic fields and energy storage?

Back

Magnetic fields can store potential energy when a magnetic force is applied.

Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between potential energy and kinetic energy?

Back

Potential energy is stored energy based on position, while kinetic energy is the energy of motion.

Front

What is the effect of distance on the potential energy of repelling magnets?

Back

Potential energy decreases as the distance between repelling magnets increases.

Front

What is an example of potential energy in a magnetic field?

Back

A magnet held close to another magnet has potential energy due to the magnetic force acting between them.
