No, that statement is incorrect. The accumulation of electric charges on an item is known as static electricity, not magnetism.

Can an electric current be produced by magnetism?

Yes, a moving electric charge creates a magnetic field


explain how magnetism as a force?

Magnetism is the force exerted by magnets when they attract or repel each other. Magnetism is caused by the motion of electric charges. Every substance is made up of tiny units called atoms. Each atom has electrons, particles that carry electric charges

The electric field.


What is an atom or group of atoms that has an electric charged called?

Such charged particles are known as ions. A positively charged ion is called a cation; a negatively charged particle is called an anion.Ions: cation (positive charge) and anion (negative charge)


How are electricity and magnetism alike?

Maxwell described that electricity and magnetism cannot be separated. If you examine maxwell's equations you can see that a moving electric charge will produce an electric field. You can also see that a magnetic field that changes in time can produce an electric field. Maxwell also predicted that an electric and magnetic field can propagate infinitely together- this is called a wave (otherwise known as light, x-rays, microwaves, etc...).


Can atoms carry an electric charge or charges?

Yes, they are called ions. Cations are positively charged and anions are negatively charged.
