A magnet distorts the picture as it distorts the path of electrons flowing from the electron gun towards the screen inside the tv. As electrons are negatively charged particles, their motion is distorted by a magnet. So it is these electrons, not photons, which are distorted by the magnet.

A magnet will affect the path of the electron beam, interfering with the picture. Modern screens are LCD/LED based, and do not have the beam of electrons to be affected. Magnets used to effect two primary things in electronics, CRTs (Cathode Ray Tubes) and the Hard Drives.

Magnetism is the force exerted by magnets when they attract or repel each other. Magnetism is caused by the motion of electric charges. Every substance is made up of tiny units called atoms. Their movement generates an electric current and causes each electron to act like a microscopic magnet.

Normally, magnets will not adversely affect flat screens. If a magnet is placed close to the screen, it can distort the screen or even magnetise it. This can mean that colours are produced wrongly. This can result in permanent damage to the tube.

No, Magnets Won’t Damage LCDs Even when placed in close proximity to an LCD, a magnet won’t affect its color or other display elements. Many LCDs feature built-in speakers, for example. These speakers often contain magnets, which won’t harm or otherwise affect the LCD’s display.

the magnet inside the t.v or computer will get deflected if you do so. Computer use magnetic fields to store the information. Storing a magnet next to them will erase them. Storing a magnet next to a television can cause the picture to look bad — but the damage is usually not permanent.

Yes, a magnet can destroy the hard drive inside a PC, but you need a much stronger magnet than the type found attached to a refrigerator magnet. Here’s a video of a Toshiba notebook being destroyed by a magnet. The magnet that caused the destruction is off a fishtank cleaner.

CRT TV/monitor + magnet Get an image on the television or computer screen. Put the strong magnet near to the TV screen. The image will warp, and sweeping trails of colour will appear.

When a magnet is brought near a previously unmagnetized ferromagnetic material, it causes local magnetization of the material with unlike poles closest, as in. This results in the attraction of the previously unmagnetized material to the magnet as diagramed in.

A cathode ray tube (CRT) is a specialized vacuumtube in which images are produced when an electron beam strikes aphosphorescent surface. Most desktop computer displays make useof CRTs. The CRT in a computer display is similar to the”picture tube” in a television receiver. The anodes accelerate the electrons.
