Amplify Magnetic Fields Review

Front

What happens to the potential energy in the system when the magnetic train is moved away from the stationary magnet?

Back

The potential energy increases because the magnet is moved against the magnetic force.

Front

What will happen when two magnets are brought close together?

Back

They will repel each other.

Front

How is energy being transferred when a magnet is moved?

Back

Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

Front

How does a system of magnets store potential energy in the magnetic field?

Back

The energy used to move a magnet against (opposite direction as) a magnetic force.

Front

What will happen next when two magnetic trains are near each other?

Back

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

Front

What is a magnetic field?

Back

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

Front

What is the principle of magnetic attraction?

Back

Opposite poles of magnets attract each other, while like poles repel.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy an object possesses due to its motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

How do magnets interact with each other?

Back

Magnets can either attract or repel each other depending on their orientation.
