How Close is Too Close

Julianna C. Burrows

Saunders Middle School

Julianna set out to determine how close a standard kitchen magnet could be to a floppy before data was lost. Eventually, she placed a whole handfull of magnets directly on top of floppies and there was still no data loss. Julianna discoverd that it takes 2 industrial strength magnets, one above and one below the floppy, to produce a detectable loss of data.
