I'm not sure what "shape" means as applied to a magnetic field, which is not a physical object.

To the extent I can conceive of them having a shape, the shape depends on the shape of the magnet, or more precisely upon the geometry of the poles of the magnet.

What do you mean by uniform and non uniform magnetic fields?

A uniform magnetic field has the same strength and direction at all points in space. In contrast, a non-uniform magnetic field is one where the strength and/or direction varies from point to point. Uniform magnetic fields are often created in laboratory settings, while non-uniform magnetic fields can occur naturally or in more complex magnetic systems.


Can all force fields attract and repel?

No, not all force fields can attract and repel. Some force fields, like magnetic fields, can both attract and repel objects with opposite magnetic polarity, while others, like gravitational fields, only attract objects and cannot repel them.


Can a magnetic field pass through rubber?

Yes, magnetic fields can pass through rubber materials as long as the rubber is not a magnetic material itself. Rubber is typically a non-magnetic material and does not significantly affect the passage of magnetic fields.


What is the region of a magnetic field?

The region around a magnet or current-carrying conductor within which the magnetic force is exerted is called the magnetic field. Magnetic fields are three-dimensional and extend infinitely in all directions from the magnetic source.


Why are electrical and magnetic forces non contact?

Electrical and magnetic forces are non-contact forces because they can act over a distance without the need for direct physical contact between the objects. These forces are mediated by electric and magnetic fields, which can interact with charged particles or magnetic materials without requiring direct touch.

A cluster of billions of atoms that all have magnetic fields lined up in the same way is known as a ferromagnetic material. This alignment creates a strong magnetic field within the material, making it magnetically responsive.


What are tiny regions inside all objects that cause an object to be magnetic when they line up?

Magnetic domains are tiny regions within materials where atoms align their magnetic fields in the same direction. When these domains line up, the material exhibits magnetic properties.

Do electric and magnetic lines of force physically exist?

The "lines" of latitude, longitude, reasoning, electric fields, and magnetic fields are imaginary.


Which planet has a magnetic shield?

All planets have magnetic fields. I believe that in most cases, this magnetic field can act as a shield.


Is there an antimagnetic material that is thin and block or diverted it all magnetic flux fields?

Yes, a grain-oriented form of iron called mu-metal is used as a screen of magnetic fields for such things as CRT's. This material has a high magnetic permeability, called mu (the Greek letter) in the trade, hence mu-metal. Effectively it 'short circuits' a magnetic field. A double screened cage called a Faraday Cage does the same function for electromagnetic fields.

What are the source of magnetic fields?

The source of all magnetic fields is moving electric charge: whether it is current in a wire, unpaired electrons in an atomic orbital, convection currents in the earth's liquid nickle/iron core, plasma in the sun, etc. moving electric charge is the source of all magnetic fields.
