What material(s) interrupt a magnetic feild, like connection between two magnets?

[ReplySF]

I'm doing a project for my school, I need a way to cut off the connection between two magnets though. Does anyone know how?

Mu-metal.

 

I think. Heck, I just looked it up on Yahoo answers.

Oh, thank you.

 

Is that sold anywhere?

Or, just use two non-magnets, claim they are magnets, and claim some random ass thing in the middle is causing the magnets to not work as they should

'Negative' with 'Negative' or 'Positive' with 'Positive' does not connect to each-other.

I remember way back in time, people did their own projects and their own Googling.

It's a science class most likely, not religion.

Pull them away from each other???

Why the hell does everyone go to SG forums to get homework help? Do it yourself lazy-ass.

I take that you have 2 magnets facing each other .. That would be the one facing negative to the one facing positive.. Simply get a third magnet which you put in the middle with the OPPOSITE charge pointing towards your 2 initial magnets..

 

Alternatively build an electromagnet!!

 

Get an ampmeter (not QUITE sure of the english name, but a machine you that generates power from the outlet in the wall), a reel/spool (again not quite sure of the name), 2 wires (preferably the crocodile-ending-wires... Every science lab has those!) and a normal block of metal that will fit into the reel..

 

Hook it up with the wires connecting the reel and the amp-meter.. Put the ordinary metal stick inside the reel and turn it on .. SHABOWOW - you have a magnet that you can turn on and off..

 

To know what end is the positive and what is the negative before starting try to determined what way the power runs in the reel.. By that you can determine where north (positive) and south (negative) will be on the magnet..

 

Just like that.. Power streams in at the bottom and swirls around the "metal stick" and out in the top again.. You go figure where its positive and where its negative from what I wrote above..

 

I know you wrote what material that could interrupt a magnetic field, and in theory the metal you are magnetizing (?) is a material... So if you're allowed to take them apart and put something in between, this is what I would go for.. If you can, of course.. Again, this wouldnt require you to run out and buy all sorts of piss-expensive materials..

 

Oh and Church, thank you for your valuable input! I think he'll get an A for that!
