Use magnets around the house for projects and convenience. Small magnets can be placed on the refrigerator to hang papers, pictures and calendars, and stronger magnets can be used in a work area to hold metal tools, collect nails and other metal pieces from a repair job by attracting metal to the magnet when it passes over loose pieces. You can also find metal studs in a wall prior to starting a project or putting up a wall hanging by running a magnet over the wall and seeing where on the wall it is pulled toward.
Use magnets in the medical and health field to assist in pain relief, often from conditions like arthritis. People can wear magnetic wrist bands to help with wrist and hand pain, and can also place magnets in the soles of their shoes to hit the heels and balls of the feet to provide pain relief. MRI, or Magnetic Resonance Imaging, machines are used in hospitals to pass people through them and observe how human tissues respond to magnetic fields, which can help diagnose injuries.
Use magnets inside electronic devices and accessories, such as televisions, video tapes, computer disks. Screens benefit from magnets by moving electrons toward the screens to enable us to see images, and disks and tapes use magnetic fields on strips to store data. Small magnets are also used on credit cards to store data on the strip on the back of the cards, large-scale magnets are used in construction projects to separate and hold large materials.
