Magnetism can pass through most non-magnetic materials, e.g. paper, plastic, glass. However, this depends on how thick the material is, compared to the strength of the magnetic field (which weakens with distance). Magnets on either side of a non-magnetic material (even metal) can still have interacting fields.

Magnets will interact with any magnetic materials within their fields. To prevent a magnet from affecting another magnet, a more conductive material can be used to reroute the field (as with EMP shielding).

Magnetism from a magnet cannot pass through magnetic materials?

While magnetism from a magnet can influence the magnetic properties of materials, it can typically pass through most magnetic materials. However, some high-permeability materials like mu-metal can redirect or shield magnetic fields.


Does magnetism go through paper?

Yes. Magnetic lines of force penetrate paper with little to no difficulty.


What role do electrons play in magnetism?

Magnetism is produced through electric currents. In the case of a permanent magnet, it is the electrons circling around the atomic nucleus that produces the magnetism (more atoms have one orientation than the opposite orientation).Magnetism is produced through electric currents.

How do scientists know that earths gravity and magnetism can work through gases solids and liquids?

Scientists know that Earth's gravity and magnetism can work through gases, solids, and liquids because they have observed these effects in various materials and environments. They have conducted experiments and studies to understand the behavior of gravity and magnetism in different mediums and have found consistent results. Additionally, theoretical models and mathematical equations have been developed to explain how gravity and magnetism can act through different states of matter.


Is the force of magnetism stopped by any materials?

they redirect the magnetic field. for instance, a material known as mu-metal attracts all of the magnetism to it, thus redirecting the magnetic field away form other stuff. kinda like a faraday shield redirects electrons, mumetal redirects magnetism. the basic principal here is that some materials "want" magnetism more than others. thus you can put the magnet near it, and it will "hog" all of the magnetism. hope that's scientific enough :)

Can magnetism pass through magnetic materials?

Yes, magnetism can pass through some magnetic materials such as iron or steel, but may be blocked or weakened by others like nickel or cobalt. The ability of magnetism to pass through a material depends on its magnetic permeability.

Can magnetism pass through polystyrene?

Yes, magnetism passes through polystyrene


What is the Medium through which light and magnetism pass through in space?

A vacuum


Does magnetism travel thourgh stirafoam?

No, magnetism does not travel through Styrofoam because Styrofoam is non-magnetic and does not conduct magnetic fields. Materials that are not magnetic, like Styrofoam, will not allow magnetic fields to pass through them.


Can magnetism pass through nickel?

Basically...Yes! it is a type of metal magnetism can pass through various liquids such as water other examples include metal,copper and iron Magnetism can pass through nearly all types of materials which are non-magnetic>they include glass and paper. Usually magnetic materials conduct heat easily> an electro-magnet is,in layman terms,a magnet which can be turned on and off it turns on when a power source,usually a battery,runs electricity through it,activating it,and turns off when the power source is deactivated>it is commonly used in door bells magnets can spoil when they are dropped or heated. i hoped i answered your answer :)


Can magnetism pass through glass?

Yes, it can pass through glass and mirror and other things made up of glass.


Can magnetism pass through fruit juice?

Magnetism CAN pass through fruit juice. If you were to use a bar magnet on the table attracting another magnet on the other side, it would still attract. Magnetic studs are a good example of magnetism because they can stick/ connect together even through the flap of the ear.


Materials that some light can pass through are called?

Materials that some light can pass through are called translucent materials. These materials allow some light to pass through them, but not as clearly as transparent materials like glass.


How can you test if a magnetic or non-magnetic materials are better at allowing the magnetic force to pass through?

You can use a device that detects magnetism. A compass needle may suffice.


Do visible and infrared light pass through the same types of materials?

No, visible light and infrared light do not pass through the same types of materials. Visible light can pass through materials like glass and water, while infrared light can pass through materials like plastic and some fabrics.


What type of material always lets light pass through it?

Transparent materials will always allow light to pass through, translucent materials will allow light to pass through as well but the light rays will be scattered. Opaque materials will not allow any light to pass through.
