Magnets magnets magnets magnets ?

Question

hi i have a magnet and basically there is 1 attractive side and 1 repel side is there anyway to stop the attractive side with a material or shield so it stops the magnetic feild on that side?

Answer 1

technically both sides are attractive sides... they are attracted to each other.    you need to construct a faraday cage to block magnetic and electro magnetic waves.

Answer 2

yes, it has 1 pos and 1 neg side,

The shield is constructed of two layers of high permeability metal. The metal chosen is 4% Mo, 79% Ni, 17% Fe normally called 4-79 Molly Permalloy. The metal used comes with the trade name Hipernom. The construction details are shown in Figure 1. After assembly, the metal cans are annealed in a pure hydrogen atmosphere. The shield is soaked for several hours at a temperature above the curie point and then slowly allowed to cool below the curie temperature. This annealing produces the highest permeability for effective shielding.
