To increase the strength of a magnet you need to stack it between two stronger magnets or electromagnets. To weaken it, you'd have to heat it up, or use the same method as when strengthening, only this time you should flip the magnet so it would repel the stronger (electro)magnets.

- The size of the magnet
- The strength of the electric current
When any of these factors are affected, the strength of the magnetic field increases or decreases.

Can a magnet be broken?
Not exactly. All pieces of the magnet retain their ferrous properties, but if they were (for example) dropped, then the shock of the fall could potentially make them lose a bit of magnetism. Extreme temperature changes and high power electric discharges could also decrease the power of the magnet.

Will placing a magnet on concrete damage it?
I don't have an answer but we have several large magnets in the shop I work in. It would appear that when we lower the cranes down and place the magnets directly on the concrete floor it tends to weaken them. I have always heard that placing a car battery on concrete would weaken the battery . Does a magnet act in the same fashion?
