The demagnetising field within a short bar magnet is larger than in a long one because

  • A.its Curie temperature is lower
  • B.its poles are closer together
  • C.its remanence is higher
  • D.its coercivity is lower

Answer: B

The field the poles produce within the material opposes the magnetisation, and bringing the poles closer strengthens it. A long thin magnet therefore holds its magnetisation better than a short stubby one of the same material, which is why permanent magnets were traditionally made long.
