Magnetic properties are caused by unbalanced electrons in the outer shell of an atom. Electrons can be though of as mini-magnets. When they pair up, they neutralize each other's forces. When they are unpaired, as in iron, they can reacte with a magnetic field.
For a more concise answer, quantum mechanics is necessary

In a normal metallic object all the atoms are arranged in a random pattern pointing in different directions. In a magnetic metal the atoms line up so that the positive and negative poles are all facing the same direction. This is why you can magnetize some metal object by dragging a magnet across them. This temporarily lines up the normally random pattern so that they face the same direction.

Electrons rotate in their orbits with opposits spins. When they rotate they create magnetic field around them. When magnets having electrons with opposite spins come near each other they get attracted towards each other. When electrons having same spin come near each other they repel. So electrons attract or repel.

it is not a stupid query I continuously think of of the comparable theory. yet there are issues. mind-blowing is superconductors. there is this variety of element as a results of fact the meissner result the place a magnet can levitate over a superconducter. however the situation is that superconductors could desire to be super cooled for them to artwork. yet as components are progressed we would come across a room temperature superconductor that may mean that your theory will grow to be a fact. i think of you are able to extremely google and examine approximately superconductors. it is appealing.

They have ( in there molecular structure ) domains of molecules ...
these domains have tendencies to align themselves in a particular direction . thus due to there spin magnetic motion the magnetism is induced .....

Because they are energy fields with ability to exert force, which may attract or repel as all forces do!

earth has a north pole &south pole. it also has gravitational property. magnet behave same. they have north and south pole
and also posses a gravitational property.

as long as u see them stable in a location the forces are to compensate. the drag compensates the push.
