Your opinion to the following will be appreciated

Lets imagine a sphere made of a conductor (copper) placed within a
static magnetic field. The field will penetrate the within the shier.
Next we place inside the sphere a coil producing a variable
electromagnetic field. The electromagnetic field can not escape out
side the sphere due to shielding effect of the cooper sphere.

The question is: Taking in consideration the shielding effect created
by the variable electromagnetic field within the shier, can the static
magnetic field penetrate within the shier?

A static magnetic field will remain unaffected.

For the variable em field the shielding effectiveness is limited.
There will be a certain amount of leaking through the shield,
dependent on frequency, wall thickness, conductivity, and so on.
We usually calculate damping factors in deziBel values, "dB".

Yes, the two fields do not affect each other.
We cannot shield a static magnetic field by applying
a high-frequency radiation to the shield.
