Are the magnetic lines force of a bar magnets strongest at the end of the magnet or in the middle?

That is where the field lines originate and therefore where they are thickest. The thicker the field lines, the stronger the field. To see the magnetic field lines, cover your magnet with a piece of paper and spread metal fillings over it.

Magnetic forces are the weakest at the poles of a mangnet.?
Magnetic forces are the strongest at the poles of the magnet. In the middle of the magnet, the magnetic force is minimal.
What is the middle of a magnet called?
pole. the middle part of a magnet is the pole. :)
How can you show that a given bar is a magnet?
The following two methods are really the same idea:1). Test against a known magnet. Observe whether there is an attraction or repulsion between them.2). Hang the bar by a string from its mid-point. Observe whether it shows a tendency to align itself in a preferred direction.Another method:3). Observe whether the bar picks up paper clips. ---- If you have two bars and are told that one of them is a magnet but the other is not, and you are not allowed to use any other metal, string, etc. to determine which is which, see which one is attracted to the middle of the other bar. That one's the magnet.
Why do compasses not point exactly north?
Compass magnets can be deflected by Earth's magnetic field or other permanent magnets.The question a lot of people are asking is why a compass points north? The reason this is, is because there is a weak magnet in a compass, but there is a stronger magnetic field in the North Pole. The earth is filled with an iron core too which gives it the magnetic pull. You could imagine the iron core as a big magnetic bar that stretches from the South to the North Pole. You might not believe this but magnetism is the strongest force in nature! I have also learned that the bar magnet doesn't align perfectly with the north and South Pole it is actually slightly a bit off but almost exact. If you really think hard though you could think that the south end of the iron core is at the North Pole and the north side of the iron core is on the South Pole. The reason this is, is because opposites attract! The iron is in the middle of the earth which as we all know, is really hot so the iron turns into liquid. Now ,with the heat from the core and the earth rotating makes this liquid iron move with the earth . Since the liquid iron is moving around and around it makes the liquid iron into the bar magnet around the axis.
How will you find out which one is magnet when two identical bars are given one of them is a magnet and the other is a simple iron bar?
One way is to suspend each bar from a string tied around the middle of the bar. The magnetized bar should rotate to orient itself with the Earth north and south magnetic poles. The other bar will just hang there.
When is a magnetic field is the strongest on a magnet?
the magnet field is the strongest well the summer solstic when the suns gravitational pull is the strongest
Magnetic forces are the weakest at the poles of a mangnet.?
Magnetic forces are the strongest at the poles of the magnet. In the middle of the magnet, the magnetic force is minimal.
In which part of the magnet are magnetic forces strongest?
The magnetic field of a bar magnet is strongest at either pole of the magnet. It is equally strong at the north pole compared with the south pole. The force is weaker in the middle of the magnet and halfway between the pole and the center
Where is the field around a magnet is the strongest and where it is the weakest?
This shows the field lines around a disk magnet where the North pole is at the top. This shows the magnetic field strength around the disk magnet. Again, it is strongest in the corners, not in the center of the poles! The magnetic field is weakest in the middle of its poles!
Where is the strongest area of magnetism in the field?
according to the ampere's law . magnetic field is strongest in a loop or a plane. and about toroid the magnetic is strongest in the coil where the wire is rotated around it . Magnetic field is minimum inside and outside the toroid.
Why do nails stick at the end of the magnet and not the middle?
This is because of the polarity of the magnetic field and how north interact with south. In the middle of the magnet, the magnetic field is sort of neutral. The further away from middle and the stronger the force will be.
What are 3 properties of magnets?
1. Magnets Attract or Repel Depending on the poles facing each other. 2. Its magnestism or magnetic field decrease if it is broken in half. 3. Magnetic Field is stronger near the poles than in the centres.
You can flip a coin with two magnets?
Yes. All you have to do is get two magnets and put a quarter or any type of coin in the middle of the magnet on the floor and put on the south and south of north and north and it flips!! It always works if you have it on a corner of the magnet.
Is the magnetic field of earth stronger near the middle or the bottom of the earth?
If by "middle", you mean the center of the sphere (inside the core), then yes the magnetic density will be high, there, just as it is inside of a magnet. If you mean at the equator, then that is not the strongest place. If by "bottom", you mean the South Pole, the magnetic field density will be stronger at the poles (north and south) than any other place on the surface of the Earth.
Can any metal object be picked up by a magnet?
Magnets only pick up ferromagnetic materials. There are many metals that a magnet will not pick up. A magnet will pick up an iron nail but will not pick up a piece of copper wire. Magnets will only pick up Nickel, Cobalt, Iron, and Steel, if I remember my middle school science correctly.
Where is earth's magnetic field strongest?
where is the earths magnectic field the stongest? the strongest place of the magnectic place is right in the middle of shouth pole and north pole
Where are the magnetic field and force weakest in a magnet?
Since the poles are on the right and left ends, the weakest part would be in the middle.
