Answer to Question #239477 in Physics for rshiii

Question

1. Take a refrigerator magnet. Hold it near the refrigerator but not

touching its door. Feel the long-range magnetic interaction and make a

report on how this happens.

Answer 1

I feel that this interaction does not have a linear character: it is hard to hold the magnet close to the refrigerator (the pull is too strong at 1-2 mm) and it is easy to hold it far from the refrigerator (15 mm and greater, no pull).
