Detailed explanation-1: -The magnetic field lines emerge from the north pole and enter the south pole. The magnetic field gets weaker the farther you get from either pole, so a bar magnet is only useful for picking up small items over short distances.
Detailed explanation-2: -How close or far away an object is really counts in magnetism. The closer you stand to a magnet, the stronger the magnetic field will be. The farther away you are from a magnet, the weaker the magnetic field becomes. A magnetic field never ends.
Detailed explanation-3: -The magnetic field is weakest at the center and strongest between the two poles just outside the bar magnet. The magnetic field lines are densest at the center and least dense between the two poles just outside the bar magnet.
Detailed explanation-4: -Magnetic Fields Varying as an Inverse Cube For both monopoles and dipoles, the field strength decreases as the distance from the source increases., often called the inverse square law.
Detailed explanation-5: -The magnetic field magnitude is proportional to the density of the lines. The closer together the field lines, the stronger the magnetic field. The more spread out they are, the weaker the magnetic field.
