Thanks you so much !! As for the 4th power, it comes from the fact that the magnetic field on the central axis of a coil is proportionnal to 1 over the cubed distance to the center of the coil. Since the force applied to the magnet is proportional to the spacial gradient of the magnetic fueld at that point, you have to differentiate the previous expression which give some x^-4.
