A magnetic field is generated by a moving electric charge. The fundamental place where such a charge lies is on the electron. So when an electron moves (including just spinning in place), it generates a magnetic field.

A common substance will have equal numbers of clockwise and anti-clockwise spinning electrons, and there will be no net spin, and therefore no net magnetic effect. In some materials, a group of magnetic domains will aggregate, thus becoming a 'permanent magnet'. Some of these are natural materials.

And, when an electric current (a flow of electrons) moves down a conductor, it will generate a magnetic field.

How and why do magnets attach?

Magnets attract when the opposite poles (north and south) come together, creating a magnetic force. This attraction occurs due to the alignment of magnetic domains within the magnets, resulting in a force that pulls the magnets together.

Is magnetism consider a form of energy?

yes magnet is energy, surprisingly. magnets have at least one north pole and south pole, which make magnets have energy. Magnets provide energy. When you have two magnets and they are pushing against each other, that is how magnets provide energy. Magnets are better for the enviornment, because magnets are pollution-free.


why do magnets behave in a different ways?
