Question

What is a magnetically hard material?

✓

Answer

A ‘hard’ magnetic material, such as $\text{ALNICO} ($an alloy of aluminium, nickel and cobalt$),$ has high permeability, high retentivity and very high coercivity$-$ of the orders of $1$ tesla and $10^4$ ampere per metre, respectively. In other words, it has a large zero$-$field magnetization, and large reverse field needed to demagnetize. Its hysteresis loop is very broad. Such a material can be made into a permanent magnet, that is, its magnetization will persist indefinitely if it is subsequently exposed only to weak magnetic fields.

There are different types of shielding available like electrical and accoustic shielding apart from magnetic shielding discussed above. Electrical insulator functions as an electrical barrier or shield and comes in a wide array of materials. Normally the electrical wires used in our households are also shielded. In case of audio recording it is necessary to reduce other stray sound which may interfere with the sound to be recorded. So the recording studios are sound insulated using acoustic material.
