What happens when I put a maganet shield in front of a maganet?

Question

I got 2 magnets, north pole of one faces the south pole of another

Now of course in this case the magnetic lines of forces will move from the north to the south.

Now i put a magnet shielding sheet in between these 2 poles....will the magnetic lines of forces meet the 2 poles finding a path away from the shield....i mean will the lines carve a way through this shield....or in other words, will the lines first move away from the shield and then continue into the other pole.

tell me if u don't get the question

Answer 1

The field lines will still meet up with each other *through* the shield. Magnetic shields are made of highly ferromagnetic material such a mu metal. They don't work by repelling the magnetic field like you appear to assume. On the contrary, it works by *concentrating* the magnetic flux within its volume. if you have a small dipole magnetic on one side of a large sheet of mu metal for example, the field on the other side of the sheet with be shield out because the flux entering the metal from the dipole gets sucked up and concentrated so much that nothing makes it our the other side. The magnetic field (aka flux density) within the metal is amplified by a factor of mu, where mu is a few thousand for mu metal.

Answer 2

If you put a magnet shield in front of a magnet, the magnet will get destroyed.
