Sagot :

letter A

  • The spinning of electron produce a magnetic dipole
  • The magnetic field diverts the spin up atoms in one direction and the spin-down atoms in another direction

Magnetism is caused by the motion of electric charges. ... Their movement generates an electric current and causes each electron to act like a microscopic magnet. In most substances, equal numbers of electrons spin in opposite directions, which cancels out their magnetism.
