1 If the distance between two magnets is doubled the magnetic force between them will fall to a quarter of the initial value. #(F//4)#.  If the distance between two magnets is halved the magnetic force between them will increase to four times the initial value. #(4F)#.
Almost everyone knows these six basic facts about how magnets behave: 1  A magnet has two ends called poles, one of which is called a north pole or north-seeking pole, while the other is called a south pole or south-seeking pole. The north pole of one magnet attracts the south pole of a second magnet, while the north pole of one magnet repels the other magnet's north pole. So we have the common saying: like poles repel, unlike poles attract. A magnet creates an invisible area of magnetism all around it called a magnetic field. The north pole of a magnet points roughly toward Earth's north pole and vice-versa. That's because Earth itself contains magnetic materials and behaves like a gigantic magnet. If you cut a bar magnet in half, it's a bit like cutting an earthworm in half!
