The magnetic property that best describes a magnet's ability to act at a distance is magnetic field strength or magnetic field intensity. A magnet creates a magnetic field around itself, and this field extends into the space around the magnet. The strength of this magnetic field determines the magnet's ability to exert a magnetic force on other objects, even at a distance. The stronger the magnetic field, the greater the influence a magnet can have on nearby magnetic materials or other magnets.
