The further the magnets, the lesser the attraction/repulsion.

Do magnets attract or repel in vacuum?
Vacuum has no effect on the actions of magnets.
Can magnets affect non ferrous metals?
Yes. Nonferrous materials still have a magnetic response, but it may be small. You won't notice it with a normal permanent magnet around household material, but the effect is there and there are materials for which it is large enough to be of technological interest. There are also several kinds of magnetic materials , including ceramic, ferrite and rare earth magnets. Most of these have some iron, along with several other atomic species. Traditional magnets are, of course, simply iron.
Why do magnets soothe the skin?
If you find that magnets have a soothing effect on your skin, you are experiencing what is known as the placebo effect. It's soothing because you expect it to be soothing.
What did Faraday discover about magnets?
Michael Farady is best known for his work in the field of electricity and magnetism. He discovered the effect of magnetism on light, discovered and named Diamagnetism, the behavior of substances in magnetic fields and he was the first to produce an electric current from
What happens to the electrons in materials that are turned into magnets?
When a magnet becomes demagnetized whats really happening is the arrangement of the domains is getting out of particular arrangement. When electrons are randomly arranged they cancel each others field and overall effect is zero. When a stronger magnetic field is applied to the object, its magnetic effect can be restored.
Do water effect magnets?
No, water is not magnetic.
How can you tell if a metal is a magnetic?
If you have a magnet, you can see if the magnet is attracted to the material in question.A diamagnetic substance can be identified by weak repulsion in the presence of a magnetic field.A non magnetic substance has no effect in the presence of a magnetic field provided the field is weak.Because if the field is strong enough the tiny electronic magnets may get rearranged so as to have an effect.
Do magnets attract and repell in outer space?
Yes! It should. Since the magnets, irrespective of external magnetic fields, have their own magnetic field. Vacuum or Air pressure, quality, etc also don't effect the magnetic fields of magnets. Hence, depending on Negative or Positive side of the magnets, when brought together, it will attract or repel accordingly!!
Can you twist polar bonds with magnets?
No. Polar bonds are caused buy an unequal distribution of electrons in the chemical bond, the polarity is electrostatic not magnetic so magnets have no effect.
Is it good for your body to expose it to magnets?
A magnetic field has no discernable effect on your body. All of us are constantly exposed to a magnetic field, that of the earth itself, we cannot avoid it.
Can the temperature of a magnet effect it's strength?
Yes, the temperature of a magnet does effect its strength. Both freezing, and hot temperatures take away from a magnets magnetic force. Room temperature ( about 50-80) is the temperature that magnets are the Best
Can Magnets still attract underwater?
Yes, water has almost no effect on magnetic fields. (though electromagnets might have a shortcircut)
What is a magnetic interaction?
A magnetic interaction is when magnets find a way to unite; interact with each other.
Does a magnetic fIEld have an effect on a capacitor placed in between the plates?
Does a magnetic field have an effect on a capacitor when it is placed between the plates? Yes, a magnetic field between the plates of a capacitor would have some effect. Without more information it is difficult to determine how much.
How do magnets help generator produce electricity?
Magnets would have magnetic flux around. As a coil linked with this magnetic flux is rotated such that the flux would change then an electro motive force is induced. This is the way in which generator functions.
Why do magnets work?
Magnetic attraction occurs due to the effect of magnetic fields on electrical currents. An electric current would be the flow of electric charge (positive or negative depending on the amount of electrons present). A magnetic field is produced by moving electrical charges to effect other charges (basically).
Why cant pregnant women wear magnetic jewelry?
There haven't been much studies on the effect of magnets on pregnant women. Pregnant women are told to stay away from magnets as a precautionary method. Hope that helps!
