Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall magnetic - force principle

The magnetic force between two magnets decreases with the increase of the distance between them when other factors (such as magnetic strength of magnets) are the same.

Step2: Compare distances

In Pair 1, the distance between the magnets is 21.3 mm. In Pair 2, the distance between the magnets is 47.4 mm. Since 47.4 mm > 21.3 mm and the magnets are of the same material (same magnetic - strength), the magnetic force in Pair 2 is smaller.

Answer:

The magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller in Pair 2.
