Anyone have a source of information about the effective range of a magnetic field that would cause damage to computerized or other electronic equipment? I'm researching an option to use rare earth magnets to assemble something, but I want to make sure that it won't screw up the electronic equipment that will be close to the magnets (but not in direct contact).

What would have happened if computers didn't have magnets?

If magnets and electromagnets were never invented, it is likely computers would not exist. The first computers required the magnetic properties of relays and/or vacuum tubes to function. Even modern computers rely on magnetics to spin fans, spin hard drives, CD/DVD drives, produce sound, provide power through the power supply, increase voltage through induction, rectify power flow, and read/write data to hard drives, floppy drives, and other magnetic media.


How will computers change the recording of ideas?

They already have ! We used to write ideas on pieces of stone, then we discovered how to make paper. After that, we started recording ideas on magnetic tape, and now through technological advances, we use digital dictation devices and computers !


Do computers have motors?

There are a number of motors in computers, but in a standard computer, they have three basic tasks.Spin the hard-drive, if applicable (Solid State Drives do not need this)Spin removable optical or magnetic drives (DVDs, CDs, Zip disks, and Floppy disks)Run cooling systems. Most computers are air-cooled, so motors will run one or more fans to keep the air moving. Liquid cooled computers use pumps, instead (or as well).


Your tv has a rainbow effect?

This coloured effect is caused by residual magnetic fields on the shadowmask of a cathode ray tube tv. When a tv is switched on an alternating electrical current is passed through a coil looped around the crt face, this eliminates these stray magnetic fluxes. There may be a fault with this circuit. A magnet brought into proximity with the tv screen can permanantly magnetise the shadowmask or flex it out of position.

What is fringing effect in magnetic field?

The fringing effect refers to the deviation of the magnetic field lines near the edges of a magnet or magnetic material. As the magnetic field lines extend beyond the edges, they tend to converge or diverge, resulting in uneven distribution and strength of the magnetic field in the fringing region. This effect is particularly important in applications where precise control and uniformity of the magnetic field are required.

What area of a magnet has the strongest magnetic effect?

The area of a magnet with the strongest magnetic effect is typically the poles, specifically the tips of the magnet where the magnetic field lines are most concentrated and the magnetic force is strongest.
