Solution

Magnetism in the human body is produced by the weak electric currents generated during the activity of nerves and muscles. These currents are caused by the movement of charged ions such as sodium and potassium across cell membranes. As electric current produces a magnetic field, the human body also generates a weak magnetic field.
