Thank you for your reply Bob S. I'm curious as to how and why the magnetic flux increases for a magnet when you place martensitic stainless steel (or ferromagnetic material) behind one of its poles. I am building a form of pyramid out of copper and am placing magnets in the apexes. It is my...

Why does the magnetic field increase significantly when stainless steel is placed behind a magnet? "B (flux density): This is the measurement (in Gauss or Tesla) you get when you use a gaussmeter at the surface of a magnet. The reading is completely dependent on the distance from the surface...

Thanks Berkeman. I had fogotten to consider this directional point.

Does the magnetic field around a magnet increase when the distance away from the magnet increases? While using a calculator for magnetic flux I noticed that the magnetic flux increases when the air gap increases. So does this mean the magnetic field of a magnet will increase the further you...
