it prevents surrrounding magnetic field reaching the sensitive area of a piece of an equipment whose operation may be affected by the fields. magnetic shielding can address the problem of the damage of electronic equipment because of a great magnetic field like cell phones and computers

∙ 12y agoI assume you are referring to electron shielding.
Electron shielding is when electrons on the innermost levels of an atom "shield" the electrons that are likely to be found farther away from the nucleus. All electrons are attracted to the nucleus of an atom, where the protons are found. Those that are closer to the nucleus repel the ones farther away and prevent them from satisfying their crave for protons (metaphorical of course). Thus the term shielding is employed in chemistry.

∙ 11y agothe shielding effect is define as the decrease in attraction between an electron and the nucleus in any atom with more than one electron shell.It is also called screening effect.

The electron present in the inner shells screen or shield the force of attraction of electron felt by the valence shell electrons this is called sheilding effect.

What are the other materials can be used as shielding in radiation?
Lead is the most commonly used metal as shielding in radiation. Lead is economical and has got very high atomic number. This very high atomic number makes it suitable as a shielding agent in radiation, probably. You can use other metals like steel also. Probably with less efficacy.

Can magnetism be shielded?
Mu-metal does a pretty good job for smaller fields, but completely shielding something from a magnetic field with a high field strength is not doable. Giron is supposed to be pretty good, and so is MetGlas, but they cannot stop (deflect) all the field lines from a strong field. Highly permeable material is the best shielding. Magnetic lines of force like to travel through permeable materials. That's what permeable means - an easy (easier) route than through space, air, whatever, for magnetic lines of force. What these shielding materials are doing is giving the magnetic lines of force a place to travel other than through space or through whatever is being shielded. The field still exists, but it's concentrated inside the shielding. And the lines of force will reappear from inside the shielding material at its edges. What else would one expect? The shielding can't make the lines of force disappear. As it re-routes them, it means that it has to re-release them somehow. Field density at the edges of shielding will be high. The field is collected for re-routing and distributed back into space after re-routing at a shield's edges. The materials cited are passive shields. Active shields can be constructed, but they are most challenging to engineer. Active magnetic shielding is used in the machinery for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and it is an active winding that is driven by an electronics package so that it "cancels out" fields outside the main coil. It's a headache and a half to design and implement active shielding. No shielding can block, stop, or re-route all the magnetic field lines from a magnetic source. Some lines of force will not be re-routed through the shielding and will appear on the other side of it.
When did the shielding of earth from ultraviolet rays begin?
The shielding began as soon as ozone was formed. It was formed before humanity was born.
What metal is good for magnetic shielding?
ferromagnetic materials
What is shielding in a nuclear reactor?
Shielding is the use of materials to absorb free or loose radiation, and prevent it from leaving the reactor; this would be a hazard to workers otherwise. The standard materials are concrete and lead, for their ease of use and installment, low cost and high effectiveness.
Why the distance shielding for Gamma ray and Emitted Neturon is different?
Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, and are absorbed by heavy materials such as lead which is often used for such shielding. Neutrons are uncharged particles which can pass through many materials, but are strongly absorbed by for example cadmium and boron, which are said to have a high capture cross section for neutrons. Therefore effective neutron shields can use such materials.
What are the key materials in Primaloft?
The key materials in Primaloft insulation are ultra fine synthetic fibers which trap tiny pockets of air to create an effective layer of air shielding the wearer from the cold.
