Magnetic Energy Store - GCSE Physics Definition

Magnetic energy store refers to the energy that is stored in a magnetic field. When a magnet is close to a magnetic material, like another magnet or a piece of iron, energy is stored because of the forces of attraction or repulsion between them. This energy can be used to do work, such as moving an object or generating electricity. In GCSE Physics, you learn that magnets have two poles, north and south, and that the interaction between these poles creates a magnetic field. The magnetic energy store is an example of potential energy, which is energy that is stored and ready to be used.
