An iron gains kinetic energy due to the force of attraction by a magnet . What is the source of this kinetic energy ? |
| Answer» Solution :When an iron nail kept in a magnetic field , it gains some magnetic POTENTIAL energy . In this CASE , that potential energyis the source of kinetic energy of the nail . When the nail moves towards the MAGNET due to the FORCE of attraction , the potential energy of the nail decreases it is CONVERTED into the said kinetic energy . | |
