The kinetic energy of the attracted magnet and iron rod came from potential energy in the system,
Evidence Card B: Magnet and Iron Rod
In the Sim, I observed that the amount of potential
energy changed as I moved an iron rod away from a
magnet. When the rod and magnet were released, they
moved toward each other.
How did potential energy get stored in the
magnet/iron rod system?
