The electric field of a point charge decreases as 1/r2, with r being the distance from the charge. The magnetic field of a magnet decreases as 1/r3 far away from the magnet. Why is the dependence on the distance r different in these two cases?
Electric field due to a single charge falls as 1/r2 with distance r but if we take an electric dipole( two equal and opposite charges) than electric field varies as 1/r3 . Magnet is already a magnetic dipole as magnetic monopole doesn't exist so magnetic field around it varies as 1/r3.

Basic Coulomb's law tells us that the electric field of a point
charge q, E=ke q/r2, scales with distance r
as 1/r2: when the distance increases by a factor of 2,
the magnitude of the field decreases by a factor of 4. We can write
this as E(r) ∝ 1/r2. An interesting and practically
important question is how the electric field of a group of charges
scales with distance (asymptotically) far away from the group. The
figure below depicts 3...
