how does a magnet create its magnetic field.??

we know, magnetic field is a consequence of velocity attained by a charge..In case of magnet(naturally formed) how do they have magnetic field around them..If it is due to velocity of electrons in it,then all particles should have magnetic field to a certain extent..can't there be any particles naturally which exhibit electric field similar to magnetic field.?!

The electrons that "orbit" atoms can be considered current.

The circular current generates a magnetic field, depending on the orientation of it's orbit.

But since atoms and electrons are pretty random, each one of these magnetic fields cancel each other out. That's because all the electrons are "aligned" differently.

When you take a ferromagnetic material like iron and expose it to a strong uniform magnetic field, all the electrons become "aligned" so that their produced magnetic field, instead of canceling each other out, now face the same direction.

Electrons have a magnetic field from their intrinsic spin and can also develop a magnetic field from their orbital angular momentum as well. These fields can align with each other in certain materials such as Iron, and add up to produce a macroscopic magnetic field that we see in everyday magnets. Most materials are not magnetic and the electrons simply cannot align their magnetic fields properly because of how they are situated in their orbitals.

you can picture a maget as made up of current loops,this a very classical picture.But it is really good ,if you don't get too far with it.otherwise there will not be any paramagnetism or diamagnetism.Correct explanation can only come from quantum mechanics in which an electron has an intrinsic spin.

A magnet creates its magnetic field through the alignment of its atomic and molecular dipoles. In a magnet, the spins of the electrons in the atoms are aligned in the same direction, creating a net magnetic moment. This alignment is due to the movement of the electrons within the material, which creates a magnetic field around the magnet. This magnetic field is what allows the magnet to attract or repel other magnets or magnetic materials.

While all particles do have a magnetic field to some extent, it is the alignment of these fields in a magnet that creates a strong and consistent magnetic field. Other particles, such as protons and neutrons, also have a magnetic moment, but it is much weaker than that of electrons. As for particles that exhibit electric fields similar to magnetic fields, there are particles called electric dipoles that have an electric charge separation, similar to the magnetic dipole in a magnet. However, these electric dipoles do not create a magnetic field like a magnet does.
