Question

The kinetic energy of the attracted magnet and iron rod came from potential energy in the system.

How did potential energy get stored in the magnet/iron rod system?

Answer 1

Answer:

The amount of potential energy stored in the magnetic field depends on both the strength of the magnet and the distance that another magnet or magnetic object is from it. ...

Explanation:

All objects have a gravitational force, no matter how small, but only some objects such as iron objects can have a magnetic force.

Answer 2

Answer:

• The potential energy is stored as magnetic potential energy as a result of magnetic force exerted at the domains of each magnet.

• This magnetic potential energy is therefore converted to kinetic energy causing these magnets to repel.
