Magnetism is not caused, it is one of the four known forces:
Strong nuclear force
Weak nuclear force
Electromagnetic force (magnetism)
Gravitational force
All matter has an electromagnetic force, the reason that we dont see objects stuck to each other, is that almost all matter on earth, has equal, positive, and negative polarity.
Understanding how a charge becomes positive, and negative, is very complex, and involves quantum mechanics.
What else can I help you with?
What is magnetism really?
attract iron
What is closely related to magnetism?
Electricity, magnetism and electricity are two aspects of a single force known as electromagnetism.
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.
What causes magnetism at a microscopic level?
Basically, all magnetism is caused by electric currents - movement of charges. At the microscopic level, magnetism (in a permanent magnet) is caused by the spin of the electron, as well as the electron's orbit around the atom.
When rocks are heated above a specific temperature called they loose there magnetism?
When rocks are heated above a specific temperature called the Curie temperature, they lose their magnetism. This is because the heat causes the magnetic minerals within the rock to lose their alignment, disrupting the magnetic field.
What is magnetism really?
attract iron
What causes an object to exhibit magnetism?
An object exhibits magnetism when its atoms have aligned magnetic fields, creating a magnetic force.
What is a property of matter that causes objects to attract or repel?
The property of matter that causes objects to attract or repel each other is called magnetism. Materials that exhibit this property are known as magnetic materials, and their behavior is governed by the arrangement of their atoms and their magnetic domains. Magnetism can be observed in permanent magnets, electromagnets, and in various electrical devices.
What is the study of the past magnetism in rocks known as?
This is known as paleomagnetism.
Is replusion a super test of magnetism?
Repulsion from a known pole of a magnet is the ONLY valid test for magnetism.
What is closely related to magnetism?
Electricity, magnetism and electricity are two aspects of a single force known as electromagnetism.
What causes magnets to attract the refridgereator?
The force is called "magnetism". The refrigerator is not magnetic, but the magnet will temporarily induce magnetism in the refrigerator's metal - the part that is close to the magnet.
Can animals detect magnetism?
No animal really "detects" magnetism, however animals do use magnetism such as: Pigeon's. little Ions in their brains' line up with the Earth's Magnetic field (EM Field).
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.
Do magnetic materials rust?
They can, but you have to understand that magnetism and oxidation (the process that causes rust) are unrelated.
Who was William Gilbert?
William Gilbert was known for his discovery of magnetism.
How do permanent magnets get their magnetism?
Permanent magnets get their magnetism from the alignment of their atomic particles, specifically the electrons, which create a magnetic field that causes the material to attract or repel other objects.
