I would like to understand at a microscopic level why magnets attract or repel each other. I understand that there are tiny loops of currents caused by the spin and orbital rotations of electrons, that there are magnetic moments, but I don't understand why magnets attract. How is the magnetic force (F=qv x B) acting? What is doing the work since magnetic forces are not doing any work? Thank you
