Question

Kayla has two magnets. She would like to know how much magnetic energy is stored in each one. What would be the best way for her to determine which magnet has the most magnetic energy?(1 point)
Responses

Attach wires to the ends of each magnet and measure the currents going through the wires.

Put each magnet into a beaker of water to see how much water it displaces.

Measure how close each magnet can get to a metal object before picking it up.

Record the mass of each magnet by measuring it on a balance scale.

Answer 1

To determine which magnet has the most magnetic energy, the best way for Kayla to proceed is to **measure how close each magnet can get to a metal object before picking it up.** This method would give her an indication of the strength of the magnetic field and how much magnetic force is exerted by each magnet, which is directly related to the magnetic energy stored in each magnet. The strength of the magnetic field will help her assess their capabilities effectively.

The other options do not directly measure magnetic energy or strength in a meaningful way in comparison.
