yordan 10 Report post Posted April 30, 2009 Each material on Earth is made of atoms, which have protons, neutrons and electrons.All of them are constantly moving (electrons spinning around the protons and neutrons).In some pieces of material (like iron) the way electrons are spinning is not completely random, a common axis appears, which gives a collective effect.Such a material with a lot of spinning axes oriented up will be attracted by a piece of the same matierial with axes oriented down. It will push the other piece of material if the spinning axes are up.That's roughly why magnet stick to a piece of metal, and magnets are attracted by magnet oriented a certain way and will push magnets oriented the opposite way.
