quick question on magnetism

Featured Replies

if opposites forces attract, it seems to me that the magnetic force in a bar magnet would have an "0" shape near the center of the magnet, But what we see is more like a figure 8. Why don't thes forces attract each other? And what's going on in the middle of the magnet? are the positive and negative energies canceling each other out? It seems like magnetic force would burn out pretty quick if this is the case.

Figure 8? In the middle of the magnet itself, or the area around it?
