True.
Magnetic Disks, otherwise known as 'Floppy disks'. The last generation of these disks were 3 1/2" and used a ridgid plastic case, to contain the magnetic disk within. Not very floppy. The early versions were 7" and 5" and were contained in soft plastic outer sleeves. These were actually floppy.

The process that converts binary information into patterns of magnetic flux on a hard disk's surface is called magnetic recording. This involves encoding binary data (0s and 1s) into magnetic fields, which are created by the read/write head of the hard drive. The head alters the magnetic orientation of tiny regions on the disk's surface, representing the stored data as changes in magnetic flux. When data is read, the changes in magnetic orientation are detected and translated back into binary information.
No. A CD is a type of optical media. An example of magnetic media would be tape (eg. VHS and cassette)
The surface charge density on the disks is the amount of electric charge per unit area on the surface of the disks.
Head – The device that reads and writes the information—magnetic or optical—on the disk surface.
Yes, magnetic storage devices use disks coated with magnetically sensitive material, such as magnetic oxides. These disks are divided into sectors, which allows data to be organized and accessed efficiently. Information is read by transforming electrical impulses into varying magnetic fields, enabling the storage and retrieval of data. This process is fundamental to the operation of devices like hard disk drives (HDDs).

In a magnetic disk drive, the special device that reads and writes data to the disk's surface is called a read/write head. This head operates at a very small distance from the disk platter, utilizing magnetic fields to detect and alter the magnetic orientation of the disk surface, thereby enabling data retrieval and storage.
Some examples of dynamic units are magnetic disks, magnetic drums, and magnetic tapes
