Question

Jake has four pairs of horseshoe magnets in different sizes. He experiments by moving each pair farther and farther apart. Which pair of magnets will attract each other at the farthest distance? A) the largest pair of magnets B) the smallest pair of magnets C) the third largest pair of magnets D) the magnets all have the same amount of attraction

Answer 1

I believe the answer is A.  The largest pair of magnets will attract each other at the furthest distance. This is because the larger magnets have a larger magnetic field around the magnet compared to the smaller magnets. The large magnetic field enables a stronger attraction at longer distances compared to the other magnets.

Answer 2

Answer:

A) the largest pair of magnets

Explanation:

In case you don't know, magnets are structures that have a magnetic field around them and that magnetic field allows them to attract some metallic structures. The larger the magnet, the greater the magnetic field around it and consequently its power of attraction becomes more powerful, managing to attract in increasingly greater distances.

For this reason, we can conclude that in relation to the question above, the largest pair of magnets will be able to attract each other over a greater distance.
