The forces generated by the magnetic fields of interacting magnets change the energy of the magnets.

Question

When two bar magnets are placed with opposite poles near each other, and then let go, what happens
in terms of kinetic energy and potential energy?(1 point)
The stored potential energy is converted to kinetic energy to make the magnets move away from each
other.
The stored kinetic energy is converted to potential energy to make the magnets move toward each other.
The stored kinetic energy is converted to potential energy to make the magnets move away from each
other.
The stored potential energy is converted to kinetic energy to make the magnets move toward each other.

Answer 1

The stored potential energy is converted to kinetic energy to make the magnets move away from each other.
