Once you are far enough away, the intensity falls with the square of the distance.

This doesn't work when you're really close.

Unless you have found a magnetic monopole, it falls off as the cube of the distance (field of a dipole.)

Near one pole, or near a long straight piece of wire carrying a current, it would be inverse square.

Thanks Bob, but could you put it in a mathematical equation please?
