Describe the magnetic field when two unlike magnet poles are close together

A Magnet is an object that produces a Magnetic Field; it can be formed of a permanent magnet or an electromagnet. The word magnet comes from the Greek "magnítis líthos", which means "Magnesian Stone". Magnesia is an area in Greece (Now Manisa, Turkey) where deposits of magnetite have been discovered since antiquity.

Magnets come in many shapes but no matter what their shapes are, each magnet has a North Pole and a South Pole.

A Magnetic Field is said to exist in a region if a (Magnetic) Force can be exerted on a Magnet. Magnetic Field Lines (Flux Lines) are imaginary lines representing the direction and strength of the Magnetic Field. They go from the North Pole to the South Pole outside the Magnet, and go from the South Pole to the North Pole inside the Magnet. The density of the Magnetic Field Lines is higher near the Poles, and the Magnetic Force is stronger there.

electromagnetic shielding is the practice of reducing the electromagnetic field in a space by blocking the field with barriers made of conductive or magnetic materials. shielding is typically applied to enclosures to isolate electrical devices from their surroundings, and to cables to isolate wires from the environment through which the cable runs. electromagnetic shielding that blocks radio frequency electromagnetic radiation is also known as rf shielding.

the shielding can reduce the coupling of radio waves, electromagnetic fields and electrostatic fields. a conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is also known as a faraday cage. the amount of reduction depends very much upon the material used, its thickness, the size of the shielded volume and the frequency of the fields of interest and the size, shape and orientation of apertures in a shield to an incident electromagnetic
