the spinning of the electrons around the nucleus of an atom creates a tiny magnetic field.the electrons in most objects spin in random directions,and their magnetic forces cancel each other out

      magnets are different because the molecules in magnets are arranged so that their electrons spins in the same direction 'this arrangement and movement create a magnetic force that flows out from a north seeking pole and from a south seeking pole. this magnetic force create a magnetic field around a magnet

          have you ever held a two bar magnet close to each other? they don't act like most objects. if you  try to push the two north poles or two south pole together, they repel each other.but if you put a north pole and a south pole they attract each other the properties of a magnets are used to make electricity.
