I think I'm sort of getting it spin is just something that elementary particles have. It is intrinsic to them and anything charged with a spin/angular momentum will have a magnetic moment.

Also how would a magnetic moment be generated in a neutron/proton, is it just be because of the spin that it has or is it just some inherent property that we have learned to accept but no answer

Electron generates a magnetic field when it travels in a circle (I x A)

Homework Statement Describe, with examples, what is meant by magnetic moment. What gives rise to a magnetic moment in a proton/neutron? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I know what a magnetic moment is, just struggling with the other parts of the question. So what I'm thinking is...
