Magnetism is caused when all the atoms of a metal like lodestone, iron, cobalt, nickel, or gadolinium are lined up in one direction. If this happens during the cooling process, after being melted, it will result in a permanent magnet

What causes magnitism?

Like electrons aligning up. This is the theory of magnetism. It is believed the electrons align positive (or negative), in the same direction creating magnetism. When you pass a magnet across a shaft of a screwdriver, you cause the electrons to align in the screwdriver shaft, creating another magnet.
