Item ID Number	Item Description	How Often the Misconception was Chosen	Select This Item for My Item Bank
RG076003	Energy can be transferred by magnetic forces on the moon because magnetic forces act at a distance even when there is no air. Energy can be transferred by forces that act at a distance as long as there is a change in position of either the magnet or the iron rod.	13%
RG121002	Energy is transferred between to magnets only when the distance between the magnets changes.	10%
