Magnets are used in many devices. Along with magnets, other materials are also present in these devices. Sometimes, it is important to protect these materials from the effect of magnetic fields. This is where the concept of magnetic shielding comes in. Magnetic shielding is a method used to protect magnets and the surrounding materials from influencing each other. This resource has been created to help you understand what magnetic shielding is and how it works, through a hands-on activity.
