Video tapes must be stored away from magnets and other magnetic devices so as not to change the magnetic fields on the small portions of the tape. A magnet or magnetic devices placed near video tapes may be corrupted or data may be deleted.

What are the ways of caring for a magnet?

magnets should be stored away from heat or burning food whilst cooking on the pan because they can start melting and then when it stops melting it freezes from where it is it doesnt aracct enything metal or enything else at all :L


Instruments with magnetic fields ega compass should be stored in containers made of steel or iron?

Steel since magnets attract iron.


What is optically storage and magnetically storage devices?

i dont know In case of magnetic storage, randomly distribuited tiny magnets present in the magnetic coating gets aligned according to the frequency and voltage levels of the information/data to be stored, thus leaving a magnetic signature of the information fed in electrical form. In case of optical storage bumps and pits are created on the medium to distinguish the variations in the signal to be stored with the help of laser beam. Depth and length of the pits corresponds to the change in information.


Is magnetism consider a form of energy?

yes magnet is energy, surprisingly. magnets have at least one north pole and south pole, which make magnets have energy. Magnets provide energy. When you have two magnets and they are pushing against each other, that is how magnets provide energy. Magnets are better for the enviornment, because magnets are pollution-free.


Can magnets affect mp3 players?

It depends. Flash based MP3 players are relatively impervious to magnets. However, some MP3 players have small hard disks in them. This is magnetic media, and if your magnet is strong enough it can affect the data stored on it.


Why horseshoe magnet be stored with bar of soft iron across the poles?

the tiny magnets or domain at end of magnets are not perfectly align and if we keep it the magnetic strength gets weaker and weaker so by attaching bar of soft iron opposite poles induces on it and this will keep the tiny magnets at the end align.


Explain the term co-energy in magnetic system?

Coenergy is sort of a dual of stored energy that is often used to compute forces on systems with permanent magnets and current-carrying coils.


What are the ways to prevent demagnetization of magnets?

By keeping them in magnet keepers


Which objects have stored energy?

Batteries are stored energy devices.


Can energy be stored in the form of electricity?

Yes. That's exactly the situation in the magnetic field of an inductor (coil),or in the dielectric of a capacitor. Both of those circuit elements are energy-storage devices.


How is information stored in a computer's storage?

Depending on the Storage Device, the storage devices use their own methods for storing data in granular form on the media. For e.g. Magnetic Orientation in Magnetic Disks & Lands/Pits in Optical Media.Information is stored logically in form of Files & Folders in Computer's Storage (maintained & organised by Filesystem used on Computer).


Can energy be stored in magnetic field?

Yes.
