Magnets, strength.
Magnets, strength.
(OP)
Imagine 2 exact cylindrical neodymium magnets in contact with eachother (magnetized in such a way that the flat ends of the cylinders are in contact). Now imagine 2 different sets of these 2 exact cylindrical neodymium magnets. One of the 2 sets has a diameter twice the size of the other. Both sets (all 4 magnets) are of the same volume.
Which set of magnets, if any, would require more force to pull appart? the 1 diameter magnets, or the 2 diameter magnets?

They are composed of positive and negative Poles and were never admitted to0 the EU.

RE: Magnets, strength.
You increased the area on the 2x magnet set, but you have shorter magnets because the volume has to stay the same. Shorter magnets produce less magnetic than longer magnets.
Since delta-Area and delta-Field is roughly the same they would have roughly the same holding force.
