The energy stored in the magnetic field decreases.
The energy stored in the magnetic field decreases.

The energy stored in the magnetic field does not change.
The energy stored in the magnetic field does not change.

The energy stored in the magnetic first increases and then decreases.
The energy stored in the magnetic first increases and then decreases.

The energy stored in the magnetic field increases.

Answer 1

When a magnet is moved close to a rubber band, there is no direct interaction that would change the energy stored in the magnetic field itself. The rubber band is generally not a magnetic material, so it wouldn't create or modify a significant magnetic field.

Since the question is about the energy stored in the magnetic field, the best answer from the options provided is:

The energy stored in the magnetic field does not change.

This reflects the fact that the presence of the rubber band does not influence the magnetic field's energy directly.
