MF Chapter 2 Flashcard

Front

What is the space around a magnet where magnetic forces can act on objects?

Back

Magnetic field.

Front

What do we call a set of interacting parts forming a complex whole?

Back

System.

Front

What type of energy is present when there is no movement or change in position?

Back

Neither potential nor kinetic energy.

Front

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

Back

The potential energy increases.

Front

In a scenario where Magnet 1 moves closer to Magnet 2, what happens to the potential energy?

Back

The potential energy increases because Magnet 1 moves against the magnetic force.

Front

Define 'magnetic field'.

Back

The area around a magnet where magnetic forces can act.

Front

What is a 'system' in scientific terms?

Back

A set of interacting parts that form a complex whole.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

The energy stored in an object due to its position or arrangement.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy of an object due to its motion.

Front

How does the movement of magnets affect potential energy?

Back

Moving against the magnetic force increases potential energy.
