👉 Magnetons are electric charges that occur in materials, such as iron or copper. These charges can have different properties depending on their location within the material, but they all contribute to the magnetic properties of the material. Magnetic materials, like magnets, have a unique property called "magnetic polarization," which is related to the magnetic properties of the material's electrons and nuclei. When an electric current flows through a magnet, it can cause the material to be magnetized in one direction or another.
