Kayla has two magnets. She would like to know how much magnetic energy is stored in each one. What would be the best way for her to determine which magnet has the most magnetic energy?
One way for Kayla to determine which magnet has the most magnetic energy would be to measure the force of attraction or repulsion between each magnet and a known metal object. She can do this by placing each magnet a certain distance away from the metal object and measuring the force required to pull them apart. The magnet that requires more force to pull away from the metal object would likely have more magnetic energy stored in it. Additionally, she could also measure the magnetic field strength of each magnet using a Gaussmeter, as the strength of the magnetic field is directly related to the amount of magnetic energy stored in the magnet.
