Is the spin of an electron the cause of magnetism on a macroscale?
Are there any other factors that contribute to magnetism on a macroscale?
Yes, another factor is the alignment of the magnetic moments of the individual atoms in a material. When these moments align in the same direction, they can also cause the material to have a net magnetic moment and create a magnetic field. Additionally, the movement of charges in a material can also create a magnetic field, as in the case of a current flowing through a wire.
