Monitor image by Kavita from Fotolia.com jQuery(document).ready(function(){ jQuery(‘#jsArticleStep1 span.image a:first’).attr(‘href’,’http://i.ehow.com/images/a05/q3/kv/materials-shield-magnets_-1.1-800X800.jpg’); }); Without shielding, magnets in these speakers would interfere with the monitor. In today’s world we are surrounded by electrical and electronic appliances and gadgets that either produce their own magnetic field, have magnetic components or both. Many of these fields are strong enough to interfere with the operation of our electronic equipment. For instance, without magnetic separation, the magnets in your TV’s speakers would distort the color and image on the TV screen. The materials used to protect components from potentially disruptive magnetic fields are called magnetic shields. Magnetic Fields Magnetic fields are produced by magnetic flux, or flow, in a source. The source might be a bar magnet, an electric current through a wire or even the earth itself. Of course, th
