Explain the origin of magnetic properties in a substance.
(N/A) The origin of magnetic properties in a substance is due to two types of motions of electrons:
$(i)$ Orbital motion around the nucleus.
$(ii)$ Spin motion around its own axis.
Each electron in an atom behaves like a tiny magnet. The magnetic moment generated by these motions is responsible for the magnetic properties of the substance.
