Magnetism: Magnetism Explained

The video tutorial explains the difference between a magnet and a piece of iron, focusing on the arrangement of atoms. It describes how the motion of electrons around the nucleus creates magnetic properties. When atoms align their magnetic fields in the same direction, they form magnetic domains. In non-magnetized materials, like bricks, these domains point in various directions, resulting in no significant magnetic properties. In contrast, magnets have most domains aligned, exhibiting strong magnetic properties.
