Depending on the specific technology you are thinking about, a phone may have data stored magnetically; a strong magnet may delete such data.

Where is the magnetic field on a magnet?

On the gray side of the magnet, if you take out a magnet and put it next to a magnet things you put on the fridge, It sticks to it! You see, the magnet's force is invisible so u can't see it. Or if you put it next to a magnet that sticks to that magnet, You might feel it's force or not. I tried it once :).


What happens when you put a magnet to a phone?

What part of the computer? what kind of monitor do you have? if you stick the magnet to the screen it will appear to "kill" the colors. that's if you use an older model screen. I don't believe plasma screens will do the same thing with a magnet. the "melting" affect is like that if a pressing force on a plasma screen or a caculator screen. you can also ERASE your entire Harddrive with a powerfull enough magnet (or if it gets too close), be careful. if you have already hurt your screen with the magnet, there is a degause button in the menu of your screens settings on the monitor. if your monitor is so old that you don't have a menu, get a new monitor.
