Magnetism
Magnetism is an aspect of electromagnetism by which materials exert attractive or repulsive forces on other materials. The most familiar examples of magnetism are the household refrigerator magnets and the compass. Fundamentally, every electron is an extremely tiny magnet. But unless they are aligned together, as in a bar magnet, the effect is undetectable.
