What is a magnetic field?

Back

A magnetic field is a region around a magnet where magnetic forces can be observed, affecting other magnets or magnetic materials.

Front

How does a magnetic force convert potential energy?

Back

A magnetic force can convert potential energy stored in a magnetic field to kinetic energy when an object moves within that field.

Front

What happens to potential energy when two magnets are brought closer together?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between magnetic poles?

Back

Magnetic poles are regions of a magnet where the magnetic force is strongest; like poles repel each other, while opposite poles attract.

Front

What does it mean to transfer energy?

Back

To transfer energy means to move energy from one object or place to another.

Front

What occurs when two magnets with the same poles face each other?

Back

The magnets will repel each other.

Front

What occurs when two magnets with opposite poles face each other?

Back

The magnets will attract each other.

Front

What is potential energy in the context of magnets?

Back

Potential energy in magnets refers to the stored energy due to their position relative to each other within a magnetic field.

Front

How can the potential energy of a system of magnets change?

Back

The potential energy can change based on the distance and orientation of the magnets relative to each other.

Front

What is the effect of moving a magnet closer to another stationary magnet?

Back

Moving a magnet closer to another stationary magnet increases the potential energy of the system.
