Every atom with the electron(s) revolving - or "spining" - around the atom's nucleus is a little magnet itself. Electrons of all atoms in a piece of material revolve (spin) in all possible directions, the magnetic field produced be each atom-magnet cancel each other and there is no general magnetic field in the material. If under the influence of an external magnetic flux picture does not change the material is said to be non-magnetic. On the contrary, if under the influence of the external magnetic flux the electrons spinning allign in the direction of the flux, the magnetic field of every atom allign too and produce a general magnetic field - the material is magnetic.

What particle is responsible for a material magnetic properties?

Each atom acts like a tiny magnet. When the atoms are aligned, the magnets produce magnetism. When an iron or nickel material comes near the magnet, its atoms align with the different pole facing the magnet. For example, if the magnet's atoms have the North side facing away, then the iron object will have the South side facing the magnet. So then they attract.


Is magnetism a chemical or physical property?

It is a physical property >.<


10 What occurs in an atom to produce an ion?

An ion is formed when an atom gains or loses electrons. If an atom gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged (anion) because it has more electrons than protons. If an atom loses electrons, it becomes positively charged (cation) because it has more protons than electrons.


What is difference between residual magnetism and retentivity?

Residual magnetism and remanence are the same thing. The term residual magnetism is often used in engineering applications. Both terms describe the magnetization, and measure of that magnetism, left behind in a ferromagnetic material after the external magnetic field is removed.


How does electricity create magnetism?

When electric current flows through a conductor, it generates a magnetic field around the conductor. This is known as electromagnetism. The strength of the magnetic field is determined by the amount of current flowing through the conductor. This phenomenon is the basis for how electricity creates magnetism.

What parts if an atom produce magnitism?

The parts of an atom which produce magnetism are the electrons.


What causes magnetism inside the atom?

Magnetism inside the atom is caused by the movement of electrons around the nucleus. The spinning and orbiting of electrons create tiny magnetic fields, which contribute to the overall magnetic properties of the atom.


What part of the atom causes magnetism and how does it cause magnetism?

The electrons in an atom are responsible for magnetism. When electrons move around the nucleus, they create a magnetic field. This magnetic field can align with other magnetic fields to create attraction or repulsion, resulting in magnetism.


Can you produce electricity even without magnetism?

yes we can produce electricity without magnetism by using semiconductor for example photo diode is used in solar cells.

How do electrons produce elctricity?

The movement of free electrons is' electricity. So electrons can not produce electricity; but it is produced by magnetism.
