Which of the following could be the primary origins of magnetism?
Question

Which of the following could be the primary origins of magnetism?

A.

Polar nature of molecules

B.

Atomic currents as well as electrons’ intrinsic spin

C.

Atomic currents only

D.

Electrons’ intrinsic spin only​

Correct option is B


Correct answer is b
Explanation:
Electron movement: Electrons orbiting the nucleus create a tiny current, similar to how current flows in a wire. This current generates a magnetic field around the atom. 
Electron spin: Electrons also have an intrinsic spin, which can be thought of as a rotation around their own axis. This spin also contributes to the magnetic field generated by the electron. 
Atomic currents: The movement of electrons around the nucleus is termed as an atomic current.
Intrinsic spin: The inherent rotation of electrons around their own axis is called intrinsic spin.
Magnetic field generation: Both atomic currents and electron spin contribute to the creation of a magnetic field around an atom.
