No, computer memory is controlled by electricity flowing through the ram modules.

However it can effect a computer's Hard Drive which is where you store your data, the data is stored on Hard Drives by magnetic arms on the platters within.

It is probably a good idea to avoid having magnets near your computer regardless just to be on the safe side.

yes it is very dangerous and it could harm a computer as well.


Can a magnet erase information from memory sticks and computers?

A magnet can only change information that is stored magnetically and if the magnet's magnetic field is strong enough. Memory sticks do not store information magnetically, they use Flash memory which stores information electrostatically. So no, a magnet can not erase information on a memory stick. Computers usually use hard disks which do store information magnetically, so in principle a magnet could erase information from a hard disk. However the magnet would have to be very strong (much stronger than is likely to be available at home) and held very close to the hard disk (probably be inside the computer case or even inside the hard disk case itself) to be able to to erase the information. Computers before the 1970s usually used magnetic core memory instead of DRAM as their main memory. While this stored information magnetically, the construction of the cores as rings made it impossible for any magnet to change the information: the 1 and 0 were opposite directions of magnetization around the ring shaped cores, while an external magnetic field is "linear" not "circular" and thus can't change the state of a core.

How do computers keep the memory of their binary codes after they are off?

There are two types of memory in a computer - volatile and non-volatile. Volatile memory is the Random Access Memory (RAM) which is lost after the power is cut. The non-volatile memory is the hard drive which permanently writes information (binary code) to metal platers using magnet charges. After the computer is powered off, the magnetic charges do not change.
