BACHELOR OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

Detailed explanation-1: -Put simply, no – a magnet can not harm your laptop. Especially when it comes to the average magnets found around our office spaces. A magnet could wipe out your laptop’s hard drive, but it would take an extremely powerful magnet to do so. And in case you weren’t aware, laptops actually contain a few magnets themselves.

Detailed explanation-2: -Magnets can affect magnetic media. The strong magnetic fields near neodymium magnets can damage magnetic media such as floppy disks, credit cards, magnetic I.D. cards, cassette tapes, video tapes or other such devices. They can also damage televisions, VCRs, computer monitors and CRT displays.

Detailed explanation-3: -That’s because when you magnetize a piece of metal, it continues to stay magnetized until you demagnetize it. In a very similar way, the computerized information (data) stored in your computer’s hard drive stays there even when you switch the power off. This is how your computer stores all of its information.

Detailed explanation-4: -Magnets and electronics do not get along. Strong electromagnets can damage electronic components by stripping away the device’s programming, thereby rendering it useless.
