If I delete an iCloud backup, does it mean that that device will no longer work?

I do not know what will happen if I delete an iCloud backup. Please give me a detailed answer. I would also like to know if it will affect the backup in any way.

iPad 2 Wi-Fi, My backup is an iPhone 4

If you delete the backup, it means you won't have a backup if something happens to your phone. It will not affect functionality of your device, but it will affect the backup (because it will be deleted).
