| contents | In this paper, we present a hands-on activity designed to verify the dependence of the magnetic force between two identical N35 neodymium disc magnets on their separation distance. Utilizing a weight-measuring device incorporating a smartphone pressure sensor placed inside an inflated Ziplock bag, with a glass plate ensuring perfect contact, we measured the magnetic force with high precision. Our results confirm the established inverse fourth power relationship between magnetic force and distance. The linear plot of magnetic force versus the inverse fourth power of distance corroborates the corresponding theoretical model. From the slope of this linear plot, we have calculated the magnetic dipole moment of each magnet, providing a practical validation of theoretical predictions. This methodology also offers an effective approach for educational and experimental verification of magnetic interactions. |
