Hi and thanks for helping me with these physics questions.
Firstly, will a magnetic field pass through non magnetic materials as though it was air? For example, will a magnet still attract another magnet when copper or wood is placed in between it?
I understand that if the material in between it is a magnetic material then magnetic shielding will occur. however, I'm not very sure if the magnetic field will simply pass through non magnetic materials as though it was air?
I think that it should be able to pass through them as long as the magnetic field is strong enough.
Pls help me with this question. thanks so much for the help
