>Jannies and mods please don't ban or delete thread, I think the effects of NEMPs is a very relevant topic right now.
Since the Norks may actually end up attempting to nuke US territories in the coming months, I thought this would be an appropriate thread. I'm not very nervous about the nukes themselves, if I die i die fast, and if I dont I dont. I'm quite nervous of the effects of an NEMP. Im not quite sure how they work, I would appreciate some answers to the following questions
>What is the minimum/maximum height for NEMPs to occur?
>Is the magnitude of the explosion correlative to the magnitude of the NEMP?
>Is the height of the explosion correlative to the magnitude of the NEMP?
>what would the radius of an NEMP from, lets say, a 50kt nuke?
>How would an NEMP affect areas of modern society?
>is it possible that any person shield precious electronics from NEMP, and if possible, how?

Most (read: all) military computers are hardened against EMP. It would really scramble civilian infrastructure, but not seriously affect the US' ability to prosecute a war.

It's possible with a faraday cage, but not completely. Also depends on how powerful of a pulse that the NEMP is.

EMP doesn't just automatically fry electronics. It's a matter of probability, and many just shut off but can be turned right back on.

I'm no expert, but awhile back I read that basically the smaller a circuit is the less likely to be affected by EMP. Power lines and their stations would be fucked for sure, but watches, phones, and your average laptop would most likely be fine
