    en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetism

    Magnetism is the class of physical attributes that occur through a magnetic field, which allows objects to attract or repel each other. Because both electric currents and magnetic moments of elementary particles give rise to a magnetic field, magnetism is one of two aspects of electromagnetism.

  3. Magnetism, phenomenon associated with magnetic fields, which arise from the motion of electric charges. It can be an electric current in a conductor or charged particles moving through space, or it can be the motion of an electron in an atomic orbital. Learn more about magnetism in this article.

    Magnetism is defined as an attractive and repulsive phenomenon produced by a moving electric charge. The affected region around a moving charge consists of both an electric field and a magnetic field. The most familiar example of magnetism is a bar magnet, which is attracted to a magnetic field and can attract or repel other magnets.

    Magnetism is the force exerted by magnets when they attract or repel each other. Magnetism is caused by the motion of electric charges. Every substance is made up of tiny units called atoms. Each atom has electrons, particles that carry electric charges. Spinning like tops, the electrons circle the nucleus, or core, of an atom.

    Magnetism - Magnetic Fields, Forces, & Materials: A magnetic field B imparts a force on moving charged particles. The entire electromagnetic force on a charged particle with charge q and velocity v is called the Lorentz force (after the Dutch physicist Hendrik A. Lorentz) and is given by The first term is contributed by the electric field.
