Question

1. which statements describe the strength of the magnetic field that surrounds a magnet? select all that apply. it is strongest nearest the magnet. it weakens as the distance away from the magnet increases. it strengthens as the distance away from the magnet increases. it is weakest nearest the magnet.

Explanation:

The strength of a magnetic field around a magnet follows the principle that it is strongest near the magnet (due to the concentration of magnetic flux lines) and weakens as the distance from the magnet increases (because the flux lines spread out over a larger area). The statements that "It strengthens as the distance away from the magnet increases" and "It is weakest nearest the magnet" are incorrect as they go against this fundamental property of magnetic fields.

Answer:

It is strongest nearest the magnet.
It weakens as the distance away from the magnet increases.
