What is Magnetism? What Causes It?
Posted on January 16th, 2016 No commentsMagnetism is a very weak version of the nuclear force. It is caused by creating a very small shift in the position of the nuclei in the atoms. Obviously this can only happen if atoms have a crystal like structure.
Nuclei Shift in Magnetics
Obviously the above is a very simplified example.
Permanent magnets need a mixture of atoms to allow the more stable atoms to lock the more susceptible atoms (say iron) into a permanent magnetic state.

What a magnetic field actually consists of is somewhat of a mystery, but we do know it is a special property of space.

A typical silly statement from physicists. In my computer room I have 9 speakers from old radios plus 5 on my computers. If I pass my galvanometer around the room I can detect all these magnetic fields. These magnetic fields are not a special property of my computer room, the are special properties of the individual speakers. -
You should be a part of a contest for one of the highest quality blogs on the net. I will highly recommend this blog!
