How far can a magnet repel another magnet?

The farther two magnets are apart from each other, the weaker the repulsion force will be. Our Repelling Force Magnet Calculator offers a way to quantify these forces online. For example, a pair of RX054 magnets will repel each other with about 25 lb when touching, but only 5.4 lb when held at a distance of 1/4″ apart.

Do stronger magnets repel?

Magnets possess the quality to attract some metals yet repel others. The materials that magnets repel are diamagnetic. Other than water, materials with the strongest diamagnetic force are carbon graphite, bismuth and silver.

Do strong magnets move away from each other?

Magnets don’t always stick together. If you hold two magnets the wrong way around, they push apart – they repel! In other words, if you hold two magnets together so that like-poles are close together (two norths OR two souths), they repel.

How strong is magnetic repulsion?

That is due to the alignment of the molecular magnets in the magnet. The attraction as well as the repulsion of magnets decrease significantly with increasing distance. When two equal magnets touch each other, the attraction between two unequal poles is 5-10\% stronger than the repulsion of equal poles.

Are two magnets together stronger than one?

Yes, stacking multiple magnets together can make them stronger. Two or more magnets stacked together will exhibit nearly the same strength as a single magnet of the combined size.

What is the strongest magnet?

neodymium
The strongest permanent magnets in the world are neodymium (Nd) magnets, they are made from magnetic material made from an alloy of neodymium, iron and boron to form the Nd2Fe14B structure.

Is magnetic attraction stronger than repulsion?

The attraction between magnets is a little stronger than the repulsion. The attraction as well as the repulsion of magnets decrease significantly with increasing distance. When two equal magnets touch each other, the attraction between two unequal poles is 5-10\% stronger than the repulsion of equal poles.
