The strongest magnetic field of a bar magnet is observed:

**Permanent magnet requirement** is high retentivity to maintain field and high coercivity to resist demagnetization. Ability to retain magnetism after field removal is property of hard ferromagnets, related to domain wall pinning and anisotropy. The magnetic field of a bar magnet is strongest at its poles, where field lines are most concentrated, as opposed to the central region where the field is weaker and less dense. Substituting values gives At its poles, which matches expected magnitude for this magnetic configuration, confirming dipole field dependence on m/r³ and torque relation τ = m B sinθ.
