Electronics can stop working due to various reasons including hardware malfunctions, software glitches, overheating, physical damage, component failure, or age. Circuitry issues, power surges, moisture exposure, and manufacturing defects can also contribute to electronics failing. Regular maintenance and proper care can help prolong the lifespan of electronic devices.

No, a magnet should not stop a torch from working. Torches typically use batteries to power the light, and magnets do not interfere with the electrical circuit in a torch.
Magnets can stop working when their magnetic properties weaken or disappear. Factors that contribute to this loss include exposure to high temperatures, physical damage, and demagnetizing fields.
The main reason for a light bulb to stop working is usually a burnt-out filament. When the filament inside the bulb breaks, it interrupts the flow of electricity needed to produce light. Other factors such as a faulty socket, wiring issues, or a blown fuse can also cause a light bulb to stop working.
A faulty temperature sensor, a wiring issue, or a blown fuse could cause a temperature gauge to stop working. It could also be due to a malfunction in the gauge itself.
Mercury thermometers can stop working due to issues such as a broken mercury column, a cracked or damaged glass tube, or air bubbles trapped inside the thermometer. Exposure to high temperatures can also cause the mercury to expand and break the glass tube.
