Ever notice how a magnet works? Oh, sure, it picks up paper clips or tacks, but what are the paper clips or tacks doing? What they are doing is trying to get "into the magnetic field" of the magnet. The magnetic won't really pick them up very well along its side, will it? Nope. You see that now. But it picks stuff well on the ends. Here's the scoop. The magnet has magnetic lines of force running through it (inside it), and these lines of force emerge from one pole (or end), curve around the body of the magnet, and re-enter the magnet at the other pole (or end). The density of the magnetic field outside the magnet is greatest at the poles ('cause that's where the lines of force leave and return). The lines of force will always do this (leave a pole, go around, and go back in the other pole), but the lines of force pass through air around the magnet. They'd rather not do that if they have a choice. They'd rather pass through something that will "conduct" the magnetic lines of force. Like a paper clip. Or a tack. Or a lot of them. Iron filings will work, too. Any ferromagnetic material. Ferromagnetic materials that the magnet acts on will "get into the lines of force" if those materials (tacks, paper clips or whatever) can move. That's why you see the "arrangements" of materials that the magnet has picked up. That's why the materials hang around at the poles (the ends) of the magnet. They want to get into the magnetic flux lines, and want to get into as many as they can.
The magnetic field lines are closer together.
The pull of the magnet is strongest at the poles.
near both its poles
Yes, that is just where they are the strongest.
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.
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.
The pull of the magnet is strongest at the poles.
A magnet is strongest at the North and South Poles.
the poles
No.The part of the magnet where there is the strongest pull or attraction are called the poles of the magnet.
It is the points on the surface of a magnet at which magnetic forces are strongest.
near both its poles
Yes, that is just where they are the strongest.
Where is the magnetic field around a magnet strongest? Answer: A magnetic field is strongest around the poles. Your welcome! :)
at the poles
The north and south poles.
the north and south poles
They have the strongest magnetic forces :) precious
