What produces magnetism

A magnetic field is produced by any charged particle in motion. It is a fundamental law of nature (as expressed by the electromagnetic force) that a magnetic field will form around any moving charge. We usually think of moving electrons as creating a magnetic field, and this is absolutely correct, but any moving charge can create a magnetic field.

As for what magnetism is, this question has already been answered, and link is provided below to that question.

What is a transistor composed of

SILICON or common sand with doping of the right ratio to make a transistor.

three layers of semiconductor material

How can transistors act as amplifiers or switches

by creating two circuit loops

What characteristic exists in magnets that does not exist in materials that lack magnetism

Domains are aligned.

What types of magnets are easy to magnetize but lose magnetism quickly

temporary magnets

What term is given to the process of rearranging electrons in a semiconductor by adding atoms of other elements

doping

Which of these is not a type of signal used to send information through electricity

transistor

Why are temporary magnets so useful

magnetic feilds are produced only when current is flowing

What do all electric motors contain

"permanent and temporary magnets"

How are analog signals stored on cassette tapes

by magnetizing the tape

Why do you use digital signals

to decide true or false

The total current that flows through a circuit is the same as the current that flows through each individual resistor connected in series

True

What is the equivalent resistance through the entire circuit

30 ohms

What type of device is used to increase or decrease the voltage of an electric current

The device is called a "variac' and it is a type of transformer. It has a variable voltage ouput.

What is up these is not a material commonly found in magnets

Copper

Which of these is used to measure current in series circuits

ammeter

What instrument is used to measure electric current

A galvanometer or milliammeter.
