The forces generated by the magnetic fields of interacting magnets change the energy of the magnets. When two bar magnets are placed with opposite poles near each other, and then let go, what happens in terms of kinetic energy and potential energy? (1 point)

When two bar magnets with opposite poles are placed near each other and then let go, they will experience an attractive force. As a result, they will move towards each other, gaining kinetic energy. At the same time, the potential energy of the magnets decreases as they move closer together.
