  • The magnetic field is because of the electrons orbits decaying and they are spiraling down into the nucleus! The stored energy in a battery is the chemical valence shells being changed! But they both involve electrons!
  • In a vague way, yes. A magnet can store energy by virtue of the position of other magnets in its [electro]magnetic field potential, a battery stores energy by virtue of the position of electrons in an atoms electr[omagnet]ic field potential.
  • A magnet will not have any electrical energy - it helps in energy conversion. When an electric wire is moved in a magnetic field, the mechanical energy of the wire gets converted to electrical energy.
  • The magnetic field effect of a magnet is due to all the domains pointing the same way. Each atom kinda acts like a mini magnet, and when they all point in the same way, they create a charged field. A battery works becuase it has an excess of electrons on one terminal with respect to the other. If you connect a battery to a circuit, the electrons try to move to the terminal with the lesser charge, viola! current. While they are both electromagnetic effects, the root cause of each is different. The magnet doesn't have a difference of electrical potenetial, because it is in a ground state. (presumably)
  • could a magnet light any kind of a light?
  • Actually, there is a type of magnet that can store and release energy - a superconducting electromagnet. You charge up a superconducting magnet by injecting current into its ring (or by imposing an external magnetic field, which will induce a current in the ring). This current will remain as long as the ring superconducts, and this current will result in a magnetic field. The strength of the magnetic field is proportional to the strength of the current. When you subsequently release the "stored current", the magnetic field will drop as the energy is extracted. Some people have proposed using superconducting rings to store energy from solar panels or wind farms for when the sun isn't shining and the wind isn't blowing. However, currently they are more expensive than other alternatives.
