MCQ
For protecting a sensitive equipment from external magnetic field, it should be:
  • A
    Placed inside an iron can.
  • B
    Placed inside an aluminium can.
  • C
    Surrounded with fine copper sheet.
  • D
    Wrapped with insulation around it when passing current through it.

Answer

  1. Placed inside an iron can.

Explanation:

Iron is a ferromagnetic substance, so there are no magnetic lines of force inside it. So to protect the sensitive equipment from external magnetic field, it should be placed inside an iron can.
