You will find that all pins are stuck to the magnet. But this was something you might have expected. If you are a keen observer then you might have noticed that the most of the pins were stuck ______.
At the ends of the magnet.
Most pins will stick on the ends of the magnet. The effect of magnetism in a magnet is strongest at its both ends. Therefore it is said that the strength of a bar magnet is maximum at its poles. The field lines near the center are parallel to the length of the bar.
