Amplify Magnetic Fields Review

Front

What is energy?

Back

The ability to make things move or change.

Front

What is a system?

Back

A set of interacting parts forming a complex whole.

Front

What happens to potential energy when a magnetic toy train moves away from a stationary magnet?

Back

The potential energy increases because the train moves against the magnetic force.

Front

How does the potential energy of two identical toy vehicles change when they move closer to a center magnet?

Back

The pink vehicle's potential energy increased more than the purple vehicle's.

Front

What happens to potential energy when a magnet moves toward another stationary magnet?

Back

The potential energy increases because the moving magnet moves against the magnetic force.

Front

What is a magnetic field?

Back

The region around a magnet where magnetic forces can be felt.

Front

What are magnetic poles?

Back

The regions at the ends of a magnet where the magnetic force is strongest.

Front

What is magnetic force?

Back

The attraction or repulsion between magnetic objects.

Front

How does distance affect magnetic force?

Back

As the distance between two magnets increases, the magnetic force decreases.

Front

What is potential energy in the context of magnets?

Back

The stored energy in a system due to the position of magnets relative to each other.
