If the end cap is placed just inside the tube it will perform as a magnetic shield in exactly the same manner as one placed on the outside of the tube. If you have a multi layer shield then you would need to have several end caps but for a single layer shield a single end cap would be satisfactory. Dear Giorgio,

What happens if the end-cap is inside the tube? Is it better to have several end caps? If the 4:1 ratio is to screen the transverse or the longitudinal component of the magnetic field?
What happens if the end-cap is inside the tube? Is it better to have several end caps?
