Ive watched like five different videos about magnets, and I feel like they all go to great lengths to explain why some things are magnetic, but no one bothers to actually explain what's happening between the magnet and the surface of the fridge.
It's as if everytime the question "how do magnets work?", the person answering the question seems to hear "WHY do magnets work", which isn't exactly the same thing.

An electric current is not a very effective way to make a permanent magnet.
