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.

The energy being gained by the car as it is drawn closer to the magnet and the wheels turn is kinetic energy. This is because the car is moving as a result of the magnetic force acting on it.
