Answer A
Slide 56 / 162
Earlier, it was stated that when a magnet is cut in half, and those pieces are cut in half and this is continued all the way down to the atomic level, then each piece would still have a north and south pole. It is now time to explain why this happens. The real explanation requires an understanding of Quantum Mechanics, but we can use some classical concepts to give you a working understanding of it, and one that can lead to Quantum Mechanics.
Magnetic Field Origin Slide 57 / 162
Classically, the Bohr Model of the atom shows electrons
- rbiting the nucleus. Current, which is made up of moving
electrons, generates a magnetic field. Another contribution to the magnetic field of the atom is a thing called "electron spin." Since the electron is a point particle, it really isn't spinning at all - this is an effect explained by Quantum Electrodynamics. This spin factor adds to the strength of the magnetic field created by the orbital motion of the electrons. So each atom is acting as a magnet with a north and south pole.
