8 hours ago comment added Alex I Yes, that should work too. It is easier if you think of a flat plate rather than a sphere or cylinder - clearly a plate shields both sides identically from any field on the opposite side. A sphere with a large enough diameter looks a lot like a flat plate close up. I don't think anything qualitative would change between a large and a small sphere.
10 hours ago comment added python128 Really helpful! Another add-on question: Would this also work in the reverse way? i.e. If I place a magnet inside, its magnetic field would NOT (majorly) come out of the shield that we have placed?
