how does the force exerted by two magnets changes as the magnets are moved further apart?

a The magnetic force stays the same
b The magnetic force increases
c The magnetic force decreases

c The magnetic force decreases

As the magnets are moved further apart, the force exerted by them decreases. This is because the strength of the magnetic field weakens with distance. The force between magnets follows an inverse square law, meaning that the force decreases exponentially as the distance between them increases.
