EMF Meters and Ferromagnetic Interference

[Stoopchow]

Hi,
My interest in physics is relatively new and recently I've been trying to figure out the answer to what is probably a simple question. Here it is; if one is using an AC EMF meter to read the time varying current from a man-made electromagnetic field, will brandishing ferromagnetic substances to the field effect or interfere with it at all? By this I mean, will the reading of the field be weakened by placing attracted substances between the electromagnet itself and the meter? Hopefully someone can help me with this.

Thanks,
Stoop

Yes.

Thank you

Thanks very much. That's all I needed to know.

Your question is directly indicating that you are interested in physics. Your question is based on experimental facts. No one can directly say that what will happen when ferromagnetic substances brandishing to the field. You are asking a good question and your question is related to http://www.yshield.com.au/emr-testing.html, I’ll also try to find the answer but if anybody knows please put here.
