For a given size magnet, strength and temperature resistance can vary depending on the magnetic material. The easiest way to compare magnets is by their Pull Strength, or how much they can lift. Pull strength is influenced by Maximum Energy Product and Flux Density—for both of these, a higher number indicates a stronger magnet.
Maximum Energy Product is the stored energy in a magnetic material.
Flux Density is the magnetic field concentration at the surface of the magnet.

The number and direction of a magnet’s poles influence how it behaves around magnet-receptive surfaces and other magnets. Most magnets have one set of poles—one north (N) and one south (S)—and are magnetized through their thickness.
The direction of magnetization influences how a magnet attaches. Magnets form the strongest attachments at their poles. Both poles will attach to steel surfaces with equal strength, but when placed near other magnets, opposite poles attract.
