An experiment modeled the interaction between magnetic force and the change of energy of an object influenced by the magnetic force. The experiment’s researchers observed that the metal wheels of a small car turned as they experienced the force exerted by a magnetic field, drawing the car closer to the magnet. What energy is being gained by the car?(1 point)
