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.?

This statement is incorrect. Magnetic forces are strongest at the poles of a magnet, where the magnetic field lines are most concentrated. The strength of the magnetic force decreases as you move away from the poles towards the center of the magnet.


What happens to a magnet force when a bar magnet is cracked through the middle?

If a bar magnet is broken in half, each half is a magnet with its own north and south pole. The force used to break the magnet will also tend to partially demagnetize the magnet, although that might be a minor effect.


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.


Where magnets originated?

The use of magnets dates back over 2,000 years, with natural magnets known as lodestones found in ancient civilizations like China, Greece, and the Middle East. The first artificial magnets were created by the Chinese around 1000 BC by heating iron ore. Today, magnets are widely used in various technologies and applications.

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

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.


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.


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!


How does the shape of a magnet affect magnetsim?

The shape of a magnet can affect its magnetic field strength and direction. For example, a bar magnet has a strong magnetic field at the ends (poles) but weaker in the middle, whereas a horseshoe magnet concentrates its magnetic field between its poles. Different shapes can also affect how magnets interact with each other and with magnetic materials.

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.


How can you make a magnet levitate?

If you hold two magnets in your hand one below the other so that the north side of one magnet is facing north of the other and vice-versa, then place a metallic entity between these two magnets then it will appear to float provided distance between magnets and their force is equal.


Where are the magnetic field and force weakest in a magnet?

The magnetic field and force are weakest at the poles of a magnet. This is because the magnetic field lines are more spread out at the poles, resulting in a lower field strength compared to the regions closer to the center of the magnet. Additionally, the force experienced by a magnetic material is weaker at the poles due to the lower magnetic field intensity in those areas.


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.
