Question

Magnetic Potnential Energy?

As you try to attract two magnets there is P.energy that would convert to K.energy and that energy would reduce as they are attracted closer and the force is reduced as well. Vice versa when repelled, as they are close to each other there is a great force and potential energy based on the magnetic field. When repelled as they become far from each other the energy would be reduced so as the force?

Does this makes sense? If so, what factors would cause that attraction/repulsion? Magnetic field is the major factor right? What else? Type, strenght etc..?

Thanks

Answer 1

Yes It's Correct...

Answer 2

@goformit100

What about the factor's I've stated? Size, strength of the magnetic field, type etc... It plays a major role of the amount of P.energy + Force generated right?

Also if a magnet is placed in a non-uniform magnetic field(changing, not the same type, strength, etc...) there could be a stronger/weaker force generated on the magnet right?

Answer 3

O'w so that means I'm right @goformit100 ? + Thanks!

Answer 4

@myininaya @.Sam. Need you're opinion on this!

Answer 5

It looks legit to me.

no problem (:

Answer 8

@Jemurray3 @experimentX Help me out!

Answer 9

What is the problem?

Answer 10

Did I get everything right?

Answer 11

Question + Answer= Good? or bad :P

Answer 12

Magnets repel or attract, and the force is weaker if the distance is greater. Yes.

Answer 13

So I'm right! Thanks!

Answer 14

Another interesting question is coming up soon @Jemurray3 so stand by! :)

Answer 15

I'll close this one since its all good!
