ELI5- magna tiles

120 viewsOther

I’ve spent an hour this morning looking for an answer and I’m not sure if it’s just common knowledge that everyone understands, but I don’t know much about magnets. Why can you only place so many magnetic tiles together before they stop sticking properly?

Because the magnets sit loose in their slots. When you put two tiles together the magnets pull to one side of the slot. When you put a tile on the other side the magnet is sitting further away and thus not pulling as strongly.
