Best Answer

Yes. Larger the magnet greater the magnetism. For example: Both the Sun and the Earth are powerful magnets. But the Sun's magnetism is 100 times greater than the magnetism of Earth. This is because the size of the Sun is also about 100 times greater than the Earth.

Another Answer

The intensity of a magnetic field is measured in terms of its flux density, which is defined as the flux per unit area. This corresponds to a weber per square metre('weber' is pronounced 'vay-ber') which, in SI, is given a special name: the tesla.

So if a magnet has a given flux, then the smaller the area (perpendicular to the field) of that magnet, the higherits flux density. So the intensity of a magnetic field is a function of both the field (which depends on the type of material from which the magnet is made) itself and the perpendicular area of the magnet.

Magnetism is the number of magnetic moments per unit of volume. It is the volume of the magnet which determines the magnetism. If an object has great weight and great volume, it will be a strong magnet. If an object has great weight but lesser volume, the magnetism will be weaker.

What occurs if the size of the magnet is change?

If the size of a magnet is changed, it can affect the overall strength of the magnetic field it produces. Generally, a larger magnet will have a stronger magnetic field, while a smaller magnet will have a weaker magnetic field. However, other factors such as the magnet's composition and shape can also influence the strength of the magnetic field.


Is there a relationship between the size and strength of a magnet?

In reality no. Though the size of a magnet does seem to affect the size of a magnetic field, it is in effect a ratio of volume, and does not change the effect of the magnetic field. The potential magnetism is not affected by size so much as composition of the magnet.

How does saltwater affect the strength of a magnet?

Not really the saltwater does not change give any affect the strength of a magnet reason water is totally non magnetic but when we have added some salt into it.The salty water solution has ions now it could be very good conducter if we place electricity in it.Then it could be possible the strength of a natural magnet can be affected a bit.........But i dont think normal salt water could give affect the strength of a magnet
