Magnetism and Electricity are two totally different things . Electricity is the movement of electrons in an electrical conductor (usually Copper or Aluminium)

Magnetism exists as a stationary force field surrounding a magnet which has all of the stationary electrons in the magnetic material, all pointing in the same direction.

Electrons cannot be counted and nobody has any need to count them. (Just as we have no need to count the quantity of molecules in a stream of water in a pipe.) We only measure the EFFECT of electrons when they flow in a wire. it is called 'Current".

With magnetism we measure the strength of a magnetic field, which is a stationary thing . Field strength is measured in 'Oersted'.

What part of atoms produced magnetism?

Magnetism is associated with the movement of electrons.


What is required for electricity and magnetism?

Electricity is the movement of electrons between atoms. Magnetism only exists around moving electrons.


Do electrons cause magnetivity?

Yes, electrons are responsible for creating magnetism. When electrons flow through a material, their movement creates a magnetic field. This can be seen in electromagnets or as the source of magnetism in permanent magnets.


Does magnetism involve electrons?

yes


How do things magnetism?

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.


Does a television use magnetism?

Yes, the "old" televisions use magnetism to controll the movements of the electrons.


What stopps electrons from passing through a material?

magnetism


Is polarization the source of magnetism?

No, polarization is not the source of magnetism. Magnetism is caused by the alignment of magnetic moments in a material, while polarization refers to the separation of positive and negative charges in a material. Magnetism arises from the movement of electrons in atoms and their alignment in a magnetic field.


How do electrons produce elctricity?

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


What role do electrons play in magnetism?

Magnetism is produced through electric currents. In the case of a permanent magnet, it is the electrons circling around the atomic nucleus that produces the magnetism (more atoms have one orientation than the opposite orientation).Magnetism is produced through electric currents.

What makes a substance magnetic?

Magnetic objects must contain atoms with unpaired electrons. No unpaired electrons=no magnetism.
