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

A

electrostatic field lines can end on charges and conductors have free charges.

B

lines of `vecB` can also end but conductors cannot end them.

C

lines of `vecB` cannot end on any material and perfect shielding is not possible.

D

shells of high permeability materials can be used to divert lines of `vecB` from the interior region.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, C, D

Inside a conductor, there is no electric field. Electric field lines can end on charges and conductors have free charges. Magnetic field lines prefer to pass through a material of high permeability but they still cannot end on one material and perfect shielding is not possible in the case of magnetic field lines.
