Like charges of 20 nC and 30 nC, let go 4 cm apart, push apart to 10 cm. With k = 8.9875 × 10⁹ N·m²/C², how many μJ become kinetic energy, Ari?
Like charges of 40 nC and 40 nC, let go 4 cm apart, push apart to 8 cm. With k = 8.9875 × 10⁹ N·m²/C², how many μJ become kinetic energy, Bo?
Like charges of 10 nC and 50 nC, let go 2 cm apart, push apart to 5 cm. With k = 8.9875 × 10⁹ N·m²/C², how many μJ become kinetic energy, Esme?
Released magnets had 0.06 J stored. Just as they circle together they have 0.05 J of kinetic energy. Where is the rest, Jun?
- It was destroyed
- In sound and a little heat
- Still stored in the magnets
It takes 0.09 J of work to pull two magnets apart slowly. How much energy is stored in their field, Kira?
- 0.045 J
- 0.18 J
- 0.09 J
Milo says pulling a magnet off a fridge door releases energy. Agree or disagree?
- Agree: separating attracting things frees energy
- Agree: the pull uses up the field
- Disagree: it stores energy in the field
Noah says unlike charges lose field energy as they are pulled apart. Agree or disagree?
- Agree: pulling apart releases it
- Disagree: they gain field energy
- Agree: the charges get weaker
Pia says two like charges held close together store energy that is released when they are let go. Agree or disagree?
- Disagree: they pull together when released
- Disagree: like charges store no energy
- Agree: they push apart and speed up
A cupboard has a magnetic latch. When is field energy released, Tala?
- When the door is pulled open
- When the door snaps shut
- When the door stands still
In a small electric motor, what do the magnetic forces turn electrical energy into, Zee?
- Light
- Chemical energy in the magnets
- Kinetic energy of the spinning part
