Where is the magnetic field strongest?

• the middle of the magnet

• the poles

• only the south pole

• only the north pole

How does the magnetic field change due to the distance between the magnet and object?

• the farther the object is, the stronger the magnetic field is; the closer, the weaker the force becomes.

• no matter where the object is in relation to the magnet it will always attract.

• no matter where the object is in relation to the magnet it will always repel.

• the closer the object is, the stronger the magnetic field is; the farther, the weaker the force becomes.

Name 2 ways to demagnetize a magnet

• rub it with your finger; change the temperature of the magnet

• hit it hard or drop it; put the magnet in a strong opposing magnetic field.
