Question 2
When comparing two sketched magnetic fields for two magnets, how would you identify the much stronger magnet?(1 point)
Responses

Each sketch would have the same number of arrows, evenly spaced, showing the direction of the north pole of the magnet.
Each sketch would have the same number of arrows, evenly spaced, showing the direction of the north pole of the magnet.

The stronger magnet would have many shorter arrows representing the stronger magnetic field, pointing towards the south pole of the magnet.
The stronger magnet would have many shorter arrows representing the stronger magnetic field, pointing towards the south pole of the magnet.

The shorter magnet would have longer arrows representing the shorter magnetic filed, pointing to the north pole of the magnet.
The shorter magnet would have longer arrows representing the shorter magnetic filed, pointing to the north pole of the magnet.

The stronger magnet would have longer arrows representing the stronger magnetic field, pointing towards the north pole of the magnet.

Answer 1

Question 1:

When two bar magnets are placed with opposite poles near each other and then let go, the correct description of what happens in terms of kinetic energy and potential energy is:

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

Question 2:

When comparing two sketched magnetic fields for two magnets, to identify the much stronger magnet, the correct response is:

The stronger magnet would have longer arrows representing the stronger magnetic field, pointing towards the north pole of the magnet.
