# How do electric and magnetic fields influence forces and energy changes in interacting objects?
## Main Idea
- Electric and magnetic fields interact with charged objects to exert forces, leading to energy changes that demonstrate the concepts of potential and kinetic energy.
## Notes
(Include doodles or drawings related to electric and magnetic fields, forces, and energy changes here)
## Key Vocabulary
- **Electric Field**: A region around a charged particle where other charged particles experience a force.
- **Magnetic Field**: A region around a magnetic material or moving electric charge where magnetic forces can be observed.
- **Potential Energy**: The stored energy of an object due to its position or state, which can be converted into kinetic energy.
- **Kinetic Energy**: The energy an object possesses due to its motion.
- **Electric Force**: The attractive or repulsive force between two charged objects, influenced by the magnitude of their charges and the distance between them.
- **Conservation of Energy**: The principle that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
## Conservation of Energy
The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be **created** or **destroyed**; it can only **change forms**.
Potential energy is energy stored due to an object’s **position** or **state**.
Other notes: Energy can be transformed between potential and kinetic energy when objects move or interact.
## Types of Systems
- **Open System**: Exchanges **energy** and **matter** with its surroundings.
- **Closed System**: Exchanges only **energy** with surroundings but not **matter**.
- **Isolated System**: Does not exchange **energy** or **matter** with surroundings.
Other Notes: In practice, most systems are not perfectly closed or isolated.
## Different Types of Energy
- **Potential Energy**: Energy stored in an object due to its position (PE = mgh for gravitational potential energy).
- **Kinetic Energy**: Energy of an object in motion (KE = 1/2 mv²).
- **Gravitational Potential Energy**: A specific type of potential energy based on an object’s height in a gravitational field (PE = mgh).
- **Elastic Potential Energy**: Energy stored in elastic materials as the result of their stretching or compressing.
### Describe how to make a potential energy diagram/graph:
To create a potential energy diagram, plot potential energy values on the y-axis versus position or state on the x-axis. The peaks represent maximum potential energy and the troughs minimum potential energy, illustrating how energy changes with position.
Other notes: Label critical points where energy changes occur, e.g., maximum height or equilibrium position.
## Forces between Fields and Electrons
- Objects with opposite charges **attract**, while objects with like charges **repel**.
- An electric field is a region where a charged particle experiences a **force**.
- Electric force is stronger when field lines are **closer** together.
Other notes: The strength of electric fields is visualized with field lines; the denser they are, the stronger the field.
## Changes in Energy due to Electric Fields
When two objects interact through their **electric fields**, the forces within the fields cause changes in **energy** stored within the fields. The magnitude of the force is depicted by the closeness of the arrows and lines to each other and by the length of the arrow as in other vector quantities such as **velocity** and acceleration. When charged particles interact through their electric fields, **electric forces** caused by the particles’ electric charges push the particles apart (**repel**) if they are like charges or pull them together (**attract**) if they are opposite charges.
**Coulomb’s law**:
\[ F = k \cdot \frac{{|q_1 \cdot q_2|}}{{r^2}} \]
Where:
- \( F \) = Electric force between charges
- \( k \) = Coulomb's constant
- \( q_1 \) and \( q_2 \) = Magnitudes of the charges
- \( r \) = Distance between charges
## Magnetic Fields and Forces
(Include drawings/pictures of bar magnets and their magnetic fields)
- Arrows of a magnetic field point from the **north** pole to the **south** pole.
### Describe how these terms are related: magnet, friction, frictionless and thermal energy:
When a magnet moves through a conductive material, it experiences friction, generating **thermal energy**. A **frictionless** environment allows magnets to move freely without energy loss, emphasizing the conversion between kinetic and potential energy.
**Example**: When two bar magnets are held with like poles facing, the repulsion stores **potential** energy in the magnetic fields.
## Energy in Magnetic Fields
Magnetic fields are strongest at the **poles** of a magnet (north and south poles).
Opposite poles **attract**, while like poles **repel**.
### Describe the kinetic and potential energy of two bar magnets with opposite poles facing each other that are held apart and then released:
When held apart, potential energy is at its maximum due to their position. Upon release, this potential energy converts to kinetic energy as they accelerate toward each other, resulting in maximum kinetic energy upon contact.
## Electromagnets
An electromagnet forms when **electric current** flows through a coil of wire, creating a magnetic field. Unlike permanent magnets, electromagnets can be **turned on** and **off** by controlling the current.
**Example**: A simple electromagnet uses a battery, a nail, and wire to lift small metallic objects like paper clips.
### Describe the parts of an electromagnet:
1. **Coil of wire**: Where the current flows to create the magnetic field.
2. **Core material**: Often ferromagnetic (like iron) to enhance the magnetic effect.
3. **Power source**: Usually a battery supplying the electric current.
## Review Questions
1. **Compare and contrast potential energy and kinetic energy**:
- Potential energy is stored energy based on position, while kinetic energy is energy of motion. As objects move and interact, potential energy can convert into kinetic energy and vice versa.
2. **Explain how an electromagnet differs from a permanent magnet**:
- Electromagnets can be turned on/off or varied in strength by adjusting the electric current, whereas permanent magnets provide a constant magnetic field without the need for electric current.
3. **Describe how energy changes in a system obey the law of conservation of energy**:
- Energy can transform from one type to another (e.g., potential to kinetic) but the total energy remains constant in a closed system.
4. **How do magnetic fields influence the motion of charged particles?**:
- Magnetic fields exert forces on moving charged particles, causing them to change direction. This can lead to circular or helical motion, depending on the orientation of the magnetic field and velocity of the particle.
5. **What happens to the energy in two magnets with like poles when they are pushed together and then released?**:
- The potential energy increases as they are pushed closer, and when released, this energy converts to kinetic energy as the magnets repel each other.
