Magnetic screening of a steady field by a conducting shell is

  • A.effective, the eddy currents cancelling the field within
  • B.effective only if the shell is earthed at one point
  • C.ineffective, since no eddy currents flow in a steady field
  • D.effective, the shell reflecting the field

Answer: C

A steady field induces nothing, so a copper box does nothing against it, whereas an electrostatic field is screened completely. High permeability material is needed for a steady magnetic field, and conducting shells become useful only at higher frequencies.
