Question
Essential difference between electrostatic shielding by a conducting shell and magnetostatic shielding is due to:

Answer

  1. Electrostatic field lines can end on charges and conductors have free charges.
  1. Lines of B cannot end on any material and perfect shielding is not possible.
  2. Shells of high permeability materials can be used to divert lines of B from the interior region.
Solution:
Electrostatic field lines can end on charges and conductors have free charges.
Lines of B cannot end on any material and perfect shielding is not possible.
Shells of high permeability materials can be used to divert lines of B from the interior region.
