Question 12

Two magnets are held close together with like poles facing. One magnet is fixed and the other is attached to a trolley that is initially at rest. The trolley is released and rolls away along a level track. Friction is negligible. Energy is transferred from the magnetic energy store of the magnets. Which energy store receives this energy?

[1]
A

The gravitational potential energy store of the trolley and Earth

B

The kinetic energy store of the trolley

C

The elastic potential energy store of the trolley

D

The electrostatic energy store of the magnets
