This week, we conducted an investigation into magnetic strength. We wanted to find out if the size of the magnet affected its strength. We measured the distance that a magnet could attract a metal ball, metal ring and paperclip from. From the magnets we used, we concluded that the largest magnet had the strongest magnetic pull. We also found out that a magnetic force can act from a distance so it doesn’t need to be touching a magnetic object to attract it.
