Mastering Physics Homework about Magnetic field
Magnetic fields are sometimes measured by balancing magnetic forces against known mechanical forces. Your task is to measure the strength of a horizontal magnetic field using a 12-cm-long rigid metal rod that hangs from two nonmagnetic springs, one at each end, with spring constants 1.3 N/m ...- eedftt

Why a steel plate can shield magnetic field?
If I put a very long steel plate above a coil with DC, the magnetic field above the plate will decrease because of the shielding of the steel plate.

Magnetic field affecting a circular loop
If the magnetic field is constant then no change in flux will bring no induced emf nor any induced current.
