Hi,
Is magnetic field affected by metal conductor?


Yes.


How metal works with electric field,


If you ask what is the effect of a conductor on a magnetic field,
then: Because metal conducts, it tends to block, divert, change the electric
field.


magnetic field,


A changing magnetic field induces current in a conductor which in
turn causes a magnetic field that opposes the original magnetic field. This
new magnetic field sums with the original to form a completely new magnetic
field.


electromagnetic field?


Currents are induced in the conductor which sum to arrive at a
completely new electromagnetic field around the conductor.

Thanks,
SP
