Does wood block magnetic force

Answer 1

Quoted "Yes, if you have the same magnetic force of equal strength, such as positive charge against positive charge or negative charge against negative charge. Like magnetic forces always repel each other."

This does not block magnetic energy. Just because positive will opposes positive, does not mean that either will not continue to attract negative. Hold two magnets together, north to north, or south to south, and have a ferrous metal(such as a screw) in the middle, see if the magnetic force is blocked. Put the metal on either side, not in the middle, and see if the magnets don't attract it still. This questions pertains to blocking magnetic force, like lead blocks x-rays.

Answer 2

Great Question.
Sadly, the answer is no. The reason has to do with one of Maxwell's equations, on which our theory of electricity and magnetism is based, that states that the divergence of a magnetic field is always zero (Del dot B = 0). Basically this means that every magnetic field line leaving the North pole of a magnet must terminate on the South pole. Unlike electric charges that can exist as singular positive or negative charges, called a "monopole," we have never observed a magnetic monopole, nor does our theory allow for one. Essentially, this law states that magnetic fields must have a starting point, the North pole, and an ending point, the south pole, between which nothing can act as a barrier.
So to summarize the answer to your question: no, we have not discovered a way to block a magnetic field and current electromagnetic theory tells us that it is not physically possible. However, theories occasionally must be revised or amended to allow for anomalies in nature, so there is always a possibility for anything in this wondrous universe...

Answer 3

While it does block magnetism to some degree, it cannot completely stop any noncontact force.

Answer 4

Place a third-party magnet in-between the two original magnets. The original magnets will no longer attract to to eachnother, but to the magnet in the middle. Donezo
