Magnetic Fields Review

Front

What is potential energy in the context of magnetic fields?

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in a system due to the position of magnets relative to each other, which can change based on their movement against magnetic forces.

What happens to potential energy when Magnet 2 moves against the magnetic force?

Back

The potential energy increases because Magnet 2 is moving against the magnetic force.

Which direction of movement results in the greatest increase in potential energy?

Back

Moving the cart on Track 2 one space to the right results in the greatest increase in potential energy.

What determines whether magnets will attract or repel each other?

Back

Magnets will attract if opposite poles are facing each other (North to South) and repel if like poles are facing each other (North to North or South to South).

How does magnetic force affect energy when magnets are released?

Back

The magnetic force changes potential energy into kinetic energy as the magnets move.

What will happen to two trains with magnets that are not touching?

Back

The trains will move away from each other because the magnetic force will push the trains apart.

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

Back

Kinetic energy can be converted to potential energy and vice versa, depending on the movement of the magnets.

What is the effect of distance on the strength of a magnetic field?

Back

The strength of a magnetic field decreases as the distance from the magnet increases.

What is a magnetic field?

Back

A magnetic field is the region around a magnet where magnetic forces can be detected and affect other magnets or magnetic materials.

Front

What is the principle of magnetic attraction?

Back

Magnetic attraction occurs when opposite poles of magnets come close to each other, resulting in a force that pulls them together.
