What Role Does a Faraday Cage Play in Electromagnetic Induction?

šŸ’” The Answer

  • A Faraday cage is a conductive enclosure that blocks external static and varying fields.
  • When a changing field hits the cage, induced currents create an opposing field.
  • This cancels the field inside, protecting sensitive equipment from interference.
  • Faraday cages are used in electronics labs, MRI rooms, and lightning protection.
