Magnetism, at its root, arises from two sources:
- Electric currents or more generally, moving electric charges create magnetic fields (see Maxwell's Equations).
- Many particles have nonzero "intrinsic" (or "spin") magnetic moments. Just as each particle, by its nature, has a certain mass and charge, each has a certain magnetic moment, possibly zero.

magnetism
What characteristics exists in magnets that does not exist in materials that lack magnetism?
Domains are aligned.
What are materials attracted by a magnet called?
It is called the magnetic force. This is a force caused by the attraction or repulsion of the magnetic fields of the materials.

What type of magnetism is characteristic of most materials?
Diamagnetism
What is the source of magnetism?
Magnetism is caused by moving electrical charge. Magnetic force is also related to electromagnetism.
Is polarization the source of magnetism?
No. Grain structure with "free" electrons or electrical current flow are the sources of magnetism

Chih-wen Chen has written: 'Magnetism and metallurgy of soft magnetic materials' -- subject(s): Magnetic materials, Magnetism, Physical metallurgy
Can the rock magnetite lose its magnetism?
The rock magnetite can only very rarely lose all of its magnetism. It is an important source and tool for magnetism and the testing of equipment in laboratories.
