What happens to magnets when they are released?

Back

Magnets will move away from each other if they are like poles (north-north or south-south) and towards each other if they are opposite poles (north-south).

What is magnetic energy?

Back

Magnetic energy is the energy stored in a magnetic field.

Front

What is the relationship between kinetic and potential energy?

Back

Kinetic energy can be converted to potential energy and vice versa, depending on the object's motion and position.
