Answer:

they store information

Step-by-step explanation:

Information are encoded on the magnetic part of a hard drive and the strip of a credit card.

  • On the drive, series of magnetic fields are used to encode information.
  • The data is stored in form of zeros and ones.
  • A credit card has a magnetic strip where information is encoded.
  • The stripe provides a readability function for electronic devices.
