The highest concentration of magnetic lines of force is at the poles of the magnet. It's that simple. Here's why. The lines of force are all "bundled together" inside the magnet, and run its length to emerge at one pole. Then the lines of force spread out to "go around" or "surround" the magnet to reach "around" to go back to the other pole. Then they concentrate at that other pole to return to the inside of the body of the magnet. Use the link to get more information and see a diagram.
On the Sun, the magnetic fields that create the prominences may be the strongest magnetic fields. On Earth, I'd guess that those used in MRI machines would be right up there, but the fields used to steer particles in the hadron collider may be worth a check as well. I have no numbers readily available for you.

How can you tell where the field is strongest on a bar magnet?

I think it is the north and the south parts of the magnet.


What is the type of force in a bar magnet suspended freely?

The type of force in a bar magnet suspended freely is magnetic force. The magnet aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field, resulting in a net force acting on the magnet.


What part of the magnet would be the best area to attract metal to?

The strongest magnetic area of a bar magnet is the sides.


Where is a bar magnet's pull strongest?

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.


Where are the Magnetic field lines closest together?

The field is strongest on the poles of the magnet (the ends of the magnet). More specifically, the 8 corners of the magnet are where the strongest magnetic field will occur. The weakest field occurs in the center of the magnet.

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


On a bar magnet where are lines of magnetic force the greatest?

near both magnetic poles


Where is the magnetic field the strongest on a bar magnet?

The magnetic field is strongest at the poles of a bar magnet.


At the centre of a bar magnet magnetism is?

At the center of a bar magnet, the magnetic field lines converge and form a strong magnetic field. This region is referred to as the magnetic core of the magnet, where the magnetic strength is at its maximum. This is why the bar magnet's strongest magnetic force is typically concentrated in its center.


A bar magnet's pull is strongest?

No, electromagnets are stronger than bar magnets.

How does a bar magnet interact with the magnetic field around it?

A bar magnet interacts with the magnetic field around it by creating a magnetic force that attracts or repels other magnets or magnetic materials. The magnetic field around the bar magnet is strongest at the poles and weaker in between, causing magnetic materials to align with the field.


What happens to the bar magnet as it nears the U magnet the bar magnet will?

Move towards the U magnet so that the poles attach.
