Many people wonder if two magnets will be stronger than one. The answer to that question is not a simple yes or no, it is divided into a variety of scenarios, each of which is described below.
First of all, it is related to the magnet material, if two pieces of magnet material, shape, size are the same, and they are arranged in the right way (for example, north and south poles relative), then their magnetic field strength will be greater than a single magnet, but will not be 2 times the relationship.
If the two magnets are of different materials and sizes, for example, one magnet is large and strong (neodymium) and the other is small and weak (ceramic ferrite), then even though 2 magnets of weak material are not necessarily stronger than 1 magnet of strong material.

Secondly, it has to do with the way the magnets are arranged. If two magnets have the same pole opposite the same pole (e.g., two north poles opposite each other), their magnetic fields will cancel each other out, and the strength of the overall magnetic field will not increase, and may even weaken. If the north and south poles of two magnets are opposite each other (e.g., south pole to north pole), their magnetic fields will strengthen. In this case, the total magnetic force of the two magnets will be stronger than that of a single magnet.
In terms of size and shape, if the magnet material is the same, if two magnets are of the same size, the magnetic force will increase more significantly when stacked. If one magnet is much larger than another, the contribution of the small magnet to the total magnetic force may be limited, and the overall strength may be close to that of the large magnet.
In practical applications, if stronger adsorption force is required (such as fixing tools, magnetic hooks), stacking two magnets in the same direction (same direction) is more effective. If a uniform magnetic field is required (such as sensors, medical equipment), a single large magnet may be more suitable than two stacked ones. If you want to weaken the magnetic field, you can use reverse superposition to counteract the magnetic force.
