Best Answer

A bar magnet is strongest at its ends, or poles. This is because there is a magnetic field, or B field, that is produced by the magnet itself. The magnetic field can be represented by magnetic field lines, which enter one end of the magnet and exit the other.

For instance, in a bar magnet, the magnetic field lines emerge from the north pole of the magnet and enter the magnet at the south pole. Since a magnet has two poles, it is said to be a magnetic dipole.

The magnetic field lines are most closely packed together at the poles, since it is a short distance to the opposite pole of the magnet. This is why a bar magnet is most effective at short distances. Picking up a paperclip from a centimeter or two away is much easier than trying to magnetically attract a paperclip to a magnet from a distance greater than five or six centimeters.
