Solution

Horseshoe magnets

  1. Yes, Horseshoe magnets are stronger than bar magnets because of their shape.
  2. By aligning the poles in the same direction and creating a stronger magnetic field, the form increases the strength of the magnet.
  3. To make this a standard bar magnet is bent in the form of a horseshoe.
  4. It generates a magnetic field within itself and in its immediate vicinity on a constant basis.
  5. A horseshoe magnet, like all magnets, has two opposite magnetic poles.
  6. The magnetic field is the magnetically charged area around a magnet.
