The primary origin(s) of magnetism lies in

A

atomic currents and intrinsic spin of electrons

B

pauli exclusion principle

C

polar nature of molecules

D

electronegative nature of materials

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

The primary origin of magnetism lies in the fact that the electrons are revolving and spinning about nucleus of an ato, which gives rise to current called atomic current. This atomic currents gives rise to magnetism. The revolving and spinning about nucleus of an atom is called intrinsic spin of electron.
