It's quite well known that you can't destroy or create energy, such as potential, kinetic, electricaL, heat, ect... So if you put a magnet next to a metal object it will move towards the magnet. Isn't that creating kinetic energy? There's probably some explanation but i've been pondering this for quite a while. Could anyone help?
It's science. The magnet has particles that has electrical waves around it. Anything with the opposite kind will be attracted. Example would be a battery. The metal has two kinds of energies giving off of it. That is how kinetic energy is being made. It's not defying any laws.
It actually does nothing of the sort. It actually takes what energy is already present and shifts it toward the attracted charge (- or +). Kinetic energy is brought about by everything, everywhere. So likewise it would be impossible to create what is already there (the energy necessary), and because a magnet utilizes that energy it will use it to propel the object toward the magnet. Magnets are attractors or repellents, as you know.
No energy is being created, its using stored energy of the magnet. And there is energy being let off as heat and friction.
It depends on what the object is made of. If it's metal, the magnet will attract to it. But it doesn't create energy.
Yeah, it's just an energy transfer. Electromagnetic energy is turned into the object's kinetic energy, sending it to or away from the magnet. The direction of movement depends on the charge of the object and which end of the magnet it's being propelled by.
So does the magnet store energy? And if so then how come it can always still attract and repel objects? How does it get more energy if it keeps using it? And im not talkig about a temporary magnet, because that makes sense to me.
