Magnetic fields are produced by electric currents, which can be macroscopic currents in wires, or microscopic currents associated with electrons in atomic orbits
It was reversed 65 million years ago. This is an approximate answer.
because they showed alternating bands of normal and reversed polarity.

Mid-Atlantic ridge
Linear, magnetic patterns associated with mid-ocean ridges are configured as normal and reversed magnetized strips roughly parallel to the ridge. A very long lived magma source located deep in the mantle is called a hot spot.
These "stripes" formed the pattern known as magnetic striping. ... They hypothesized that the magnetic striping was produced from the generation of magma at mid-ocean ridges during alternating periods of normal and reversed magnetism by the magnetic reversals of the Earth's magnetic field.
No.
It is a relating to a temperature scale that registers the freezing point of water as 0° Celsius and the boiling point as 100° Celsius under normal atmospheric pressure.
Oceanic crust on both sides ofthe ridge shows matching patterns of reversed and normal magnetic polarity
reversed itself in the pastThe alternating magnetic orientation is caused by polar shifts or reversal, (not end of the world kinda stuff). When the rock is new and molten the grains are free to align themselves with the prevailing magnetic field, as the rock cools, the grains are frozen in time. As the sea floor expands outward (in the Atlantic), it is regularly striped with rock oriented in different directions. This indicates that the magnetic poles have reversed many times throughout the Earth's history.
No gold is not magnetic because it does not contain any of the metals that are magnetic such as iron, nickel, and cobalt.
