Are there magnets inside a computer?

Answer 1

No. The only parts that deal with magnetism are some kinds of storage, such as floppy disks, traditional hard drives, and tape libraries. However, some desktops and laptops are now shipping with SSD storage and are completely unaffected by most magnetism. Extremely strong magnetic fields are capable of interfering with any electrical system, however.

Answer 2

Yes, computer hard drives (and tapes) store information magnetically and in the past 'core memory' in computers uses a magnetic rings to store information. Also computer screens (the old tube type) used magnets to drive/deflect the election beam. Yes. That's why you should never put magnets next to computers, otherwise your computer will a: explode, or b: the computer will lose its info.

Answer 3

Yes. All non-solid-state hard drives contain magnets for both the DC motor and the heads that read and write to the spinning platters. The heads specifically are electromagnets whose flux changes depending on the changing current flowing through them. Floppy drives are very similar to traditional (non-solid-state) hard drives in that sense. Optical drives (CD drives, etc.) are similar except that they do not contain heads and therefore, the only magnets that exist are in the motor that spins the disc.

Answer 4

Yes, there are magnets inside a computer in components such as the hard drive and possibly the fan. Magnets are used to perform various functions like reading and writing data on the hard drive and in aiding cooling systems. However, the overall amount of magnets used in a computer is relatively small.

Answer 5

Yes there are some magnetic parts within a computer, such as the hard disk drive.

Answer 6

Yes, all computers use electrical magnets somehow.

Example: There is a little cooling fan in most computers.
