Magnets
How many poles do magnets have?
What do magnetic field lines represent?
Force
What is stored energy?
Potential Energy
When do attracting magnets have more potential energy?
When they are apart
What are the 2 poles on magnets called?
North Pole and South Pole
In what direction are magnetic field lines drawn on a magnet?
North to South
What is movement energy?
Kinetic Energy
When do repelling magnets have more potential energy?
When they are together
What happens when a south pole is near a south pole?
What do the field lines look for 2 aligned and repelling magnets?
See Board
What is needed to convert potential energy into kinetic energy?
Force
What converts the potential energy in magnets into kinetic energy?
Magnetic Force
What happens when a north pole is near a south pole?
The magnets will atract
What do the magnetic field lines look like for 2 aligned and attracting magnets?
See board
What happens to the amount of potential energy as the amount of kinetic energy increases?
The amount of potential energy decreases
How do you transfer potential energy into a magnetic system? Hint: Do you move with the magnetic force or against the magnetic force?
Move magnets against the magnetic force
Why do misaligned magnets repel less than aligned magnets?
Because misaligned magnets both attract and repel
Energy used to move an object against a force is stored as what kind of energy?
Potential Energy
What happens to the amount of potential energy in a magnetic system the closer you move repelling magnets together?
It increases.
