In an exciting experiment, we can explore how the size of magnetic field lines affects the strength of a magnet. A claim we can make is that larger magnetic field lines indicate a stronger magnet. For example, if we measure the strength of a magnet at different distances, we might find that a magnet with a larger field size can lift a paperclip from 5 centimeters away, while a smaller magnet can only lift it from 2 centimeters. This shows that as the size of the magnetic field lines increases, the strength of the magnet also increases. The reasoning behind this is that larger field lines create a more substantial area of influence, allowing the magnet to attract objects from a greater distance. By conducting such experiments, we can better understand the power and behavior of magnets in our daily lives.

What reasoning is used in the above experiment to explain the evidence?
