TV's that used the old cathode ray tubes (CRTs) had magnets around the neck of the tube, to control the electron beam as it passed, to paint the picture on the tube face.

The majority of the magnets were electromagnets (coils of wire) fed with an electronic signal. to give fine and precise control. There were however, on early tubes, small permanent magnets for correcting errors in the curvature of the glass screen, mounted around the tube.

Modern TV's using LCD or plasma screens do not use magnets.

Coils are still found inside, forming tuned circuits for the radio section and wave form generators.

Some TV's may have relays inside, for controlling the standby or switching functions, these have electromagnets inside them.

Electricity is the medium by which all electronic products work.

Can magnets lift up things?

Magnets are better used in lifting hot metals. Lifting magnets are the type of magnets that are used to lift high temperature magnetic materials.


Do microphones have magnets?

Some types of microphones, like dynamic microphones, contain magnets. The magnets are typically used in the mechanism that converts sound waves into electrical signals. Other microphones, such as condenser microphones, do not use magnets in their design.

Does a TV have a magnet?

Televisions with cathode ray tubes have several strong magnets in them. The magnets are used to aim the electrons that excite the phosphorus on the inside of the CRT. Flat screen TVs do not have magnets in them.


Do televisions use magnets?

Not so much with modern TVs; cathode ray tubes used powerful magnets to focus the electron stream. Modern LCD and Plasma TVs don't use magnets. Some televisions do use magnets, It just depends on which one. :D


Do the magnets in a television make the picture?

No. Or rather, it's a lot more complicated than that. Magnets are important in a cathode ray tube style television, but they don't "make the picture". The picture shows up as a result of an electron beam hitting the phosphor-covered inside of the tube. The magnets are used to steer the electron beam. In an LCD or LED type television, there are no magnets and an entirely different process is used.

Do TVs have magnets in it?

Yes, some TVs do contain magnets in the form of speakers, which use electromagnets to produce sound. Additionally, older cathode ray tube (CRT) TVs used magnets to adjust the electron beam for proper image display. However, newer flat-screen TVs like LED or LCD typically do not have magnets.
