Is dust bad for electronics?

Why do electronics attract dust?

  • Why do electronic applainces like TVs, Computers, and Fridges attract dust. I clean my TV screen every week, and then the next week, there all this dust on the screen.

  • Answer:

    two reasons. the magnetic field in the screen attracts the dust particles. and also the exaust fan acts as a filter so all the dust piles up on front of it. kinda like your air conditioner in your house. ya know how you have to change the filter.

TV screens pick up lots of dust because of static. Other electronics (like PCs, stereo receivers, etc) pick up dust because they circulate air to cool the electronics.

They are full of static electricity. Try turning them off for a while and maybe you won't have to clean as often...lol

Everything attracts dust lol, it's just that electronics are there, and they are practical and we use them everyday, but we don't move them around or anything (ex. we only touch the keybord on our computers and not the screen or the computer itself), so the dust just accumulates untill it is visible and we realize it is there.

heat and air currents. the TV screen is electrostatic. computer insides is heat and air currents under the fridge and the evaporation coils is heat and air currents.
