Magnet Question

TerryM · 03-21-2008, 06:19 PM

I have two 1/4"x1/4" N45 magnets glued to the fan hub on my homemade stirrer, about 1" apart. Will stacking another magnet on each of the existing ones increase the strength of the magnetic field, thereby holding onto the stir bar better?

Magnetism is not multiplicative, meaning it wont be twice as strong now, however it will increase the strength.
