What is a magnet?

Back

A magnet is an object that produces a magnetic field, which can attract or repel certain materials, such as iron.

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state. In magnets, it refers to the energy stored in the magnetic field.

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has because of its motion.

What happens when two magnets are brought close together?

Back

They can either attract or repel each other depending on their poles: like poles repel, while opposite poles attract.

What is the relationship between potential energy and kinetic energy in magnets?

Back

Energy can be transferred between potential and kinetic forms; for example, when a magnet is released from a height, its potential energy converts to kinetic energy as it falls.

Front

What is the law of magnetic attraction?

Back

The law states that opposite poles of magnets attract each other, while like poles repel.

Front

How can you increase the potential energy in a magnetic field?

Back

By moving magnets further apart or by increasing the strength of the magnetic field.
