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)#.
2) When a magnet is brought near a piece of iron, the iron also gets attracted to the magnet, and it acquires the same ability to attract other pieces of iron. We like to represent this force effect of a magnet on iron-like objects with a concept called magnetic field.
