Just wanted to know if magnetism can pass through Oil or not . Meaning, if we were to place a magnetic material in a galss of oil and using a magnet on the outer side of the glass, drag the magnetic material out, will it be successful ?

If magnetic forces can bypass with the aid of a chew of paper, or with the aid of your hand, or maybe in the process the earth, why would you think of that a solid magnetic stress could no longer bypass with the aid of oil? as a remember of fact, maximum potential transformers (pole-fastened or in a application backyard, are oil-crammed to maintain them cool. A transformer is two products of cord that one side generates a magnetic field (flux) to bring about electric powered cutting-edge (in the process the oil) to the secondary coil.

only certian materials can effectivly reduce the force of a magnetic field. Oil is not one of them.
mu-metal is used as a shield against weak magnetic fields, such as the earth's field, in scientific instruments where a weak field is a problem. mu-metal is used in oscilloscopes using cathode-ray tubes.If the mu-metal is arranged as an enclosure, then incident magnetic lines will follow the mu-metal and not penetrate the inside volume.mu-metal is easily saturated and not useful for high fields.silicon-steel is used at a magnetic shield at higher magnetic field levels, however silicon steel is transparent to weak fields.A composite of mu-metal and silicon-steel layers provides a shield against all magnetic fields up to the saturation level of the silicon-steel.

yes, but will it be successful?
Depends on the strength of the magnet, distsnce, viscosity of the fluid, and strength of the magnetic domains of the item to be pulled through the fluid.... will it be horizontal, will it be working against gravity, etc. a few factors.

i thought a strong enough magnet field can pass through virtually anything

Yes. Oil won't interfere with a B field too much. Try it and find out for sure. :)

Yea. What did you drop something into your car's oil tank?
