Magnets can only harm televisions with a display tube in them. This is because tube televisions use an electron beam to "paint" the image on the backside of the screen. This electron beam excites phosphors which give of light. There are three different types of phosphors, one each for red, green, and blue.
When a magnet is placed too close to a tube television, the electron beam will be bent and cause the image to distort, typically by changing the colors on the screen. If the magnet is left close to the television for too long, it will magnetize the metal within the tube and the distortions will be present even if the magnet is removed.
Modern flat panel televisions, such as plasma and LCD types, don't suffer from this problem.
In the case of computers, the magnet may change the data stored on the hard drive, which uses extremely small magnets to read and write data to a spinning metal disc. If the magnet changes the data stored on the disc, there's no way to recover it.
What else can I help you with?
Why should you not put a magnet near a flash drive?
USB sticks also called flash drives are a small rectangle of computer memory. Magnets reset or wipe all information on computer memory.
Does a compass point to north only in winter?
Nope. It should point that way all the time unless you put a magnet near it and cause the needle to follow that magnet.
What is the result you should see if there is a magnet in the doorbell when it is connected?
If there is a magnet in the doorbell when it is connected, the result would be that the magnetic switch inside the doorbell is activated when the magnet is near, causing the doorbell to ring or chime. The presence of the magnet completes the circuit and triggers the doorbell mechanism.
Why shouldn't you not put a phone near a magnet?
You should not put a phone near a magnet because the magnetic field can interfere with the phone's electronic components, such as the speaker or microphone. This interference can cause malfunctions or permanent damage to the phone.
How do you set your computer to have a WEP code and WPA?
You put a magnet on the hard drive.
Co za asy?
They don't. Don't even try putting a magnet NEAR a computer. If you do, the area where you DID put it on, your computer will be spoilt because all the metal parts inside will be mixed up and you only have a 30% chance of fixing it.
What can happen when you put a natural magnet near an electromagnet?
When you put a natural magnet near an electromagnet, the two magnets can either attract or repel each other, depending on their polarity. This interaction can cause the natural magnet to move or align itself with the electromagnet, demonstrating the magnetic forces at play.
Will a magnet damage a computer?
A magnet damages the Hard Disk Drive of the computer dramatically. Because a hard drive's hardware is a magnetic disk drive so the data get written magnetically to the disk. If the magnetic properties are reduced then your data goes with it. So dont ever put a magnet near a computer :)
Is a floppy disk attracted to a magnet?
The 3.5 floppy disk does have magnetism within them and for this reason, magnets destroying data on the floppy disk fueled the myth about magnets destroying your computer. If you buy a cheap magnet and put it near a floppy disk, the magnet will stick to it. After a few seconds, the information on that floppy disk will be destroyed and you will no longer be able to access the data.
How would you determine if a metal is magnetised?
You can put a magnet near the metal. If it gets attracted or repelled, then it is magnetised
How can you fix a computer monitor if there is a green shade on the screen and there no problem in the monitor?
did you put a magnet on it? usually that is the cause no
What happens when you put a magnet on your computer?
Your computer uses magnetism to store information. The binary code used by your computer to transmit information at the most basic level, 1s and 0s, are stored by your computer in the form of magnetic charges. 1s are represented by magnetized bits and 0s are represented by unmagnetized bits. (8 bits make up a byte)Due to this, putting a magnet on your computer may damage information stored in it, as well as possibly corrupting the ROM in your motherboard. ROM is the read only memory that your computer uses to know how to start up.For these reasons and others, I would highly recommend not putting any magnets anywhere near your computer.
