A '''Faraday cage''' or '''Faraday shield''' is an enclosure formed by conducting material, or by a mesh of such material. Such an enclosure blocks out external static electrical fields. Faraday cages are named after physicist Michael Faraday, who built one in 1836. | A '''Faraday cage''' or '''Faraday shield''' is an enclosure formed by conducting material, or by a mesh of such material.
