Magnets is matter, i.e. it consists of electrons, protons and neutrons with quantum spins and hence a magnetic field.
* Magnetic property is due to the quantum spin of its unpaired electrons. Electrons can be paired or unpaired. In paired electrons, their spin will be opposite, hence cancel each other.
But in magnets, electrons are unpaired. Although the protons, neutrons and electrons are highly ordered, long range ordering of atoms and molecules are not usually there.
But it is achieved in magnets which gives it magnetic property.
* Magnetic power is high (in the case of ferromagnets) if the atoms and molecules are higly ordered such that the spins of its electrons are oriented towards the same direction.
Magnets get its energy from the spin of particles (angular momentum) of atoms of matter.

Magnetism is a force in nature, also a property of X. Magnets do lose their force over time - especially those created at volcanoes, which lose their force as soon as the magma cools. Nobody understands how magnetism works - anymore than gravity. We only know some rules about it: if you break a magnet in half, both sides have the same Gauss, but each half will only last half as long as the original whole - and so forth.

The magnet is a force, not energy. The way it gets a north/south designation is because the atoms align, so the positives and negatives of all the magenet's atoms face the same direction. The combined force(similar to mini-magnets) is large, and is strong enough to affect metal. Magnetism is not gravity, but similar. It will lose power, when you scramble the alignment of the atoms (example, dropping the magnet)

Magnets do not have energy. They have a force. Energy is expressed in physics as the amount of work done, and work is force times distance. For example, if you just hold up a 10 pound weight, you are not doing any work. But if you lift a 10 pound weight up 3 feet, you have done 30 foot pounds of work. Similarly, a magnet sticking to a refrigerator is not doing any work and not making any energy. But if you pull it off the refrigerator, you are using a force to move it a distance, so you are doing work. If you then hold the magnet close enough to the refrigerator to feel it pulling, and then let go, it is "taking back" the energy you gave it by pulling it off in the first place.

We have been given to magnetic poles trouble-free because of the fact the north pole and the south pole. the sector lines comes from the north pole to south pole. with the aid of the way forces do no longer in basic terms act on the magnets you want a coil insulated with copper cord or a modern-day wearing conductor e.i. cord to be sure that a tension to act on the cord or on the coil to make the coil rotate. a million) whilst a modern-day wearing conductor is placed at suitable angles to the magnetic field the cord will journey a tension. 2) a coils is placed between the two magnetic poles. A downward tension acts on the north pole while an upward tension acts interior the southpole so this makes the coil rotate anticlockwise.

It isn't energy so much as it is a state of being for the magnet. Grass doesn't strain to grow, it's simply this great design.
