Magnetic fields exist around magnets, electric currents, and moving charged particles. They surround a magnet in three dimensions forming a magnetic field pattern with north and south poles.

Yes, a magnetic field exists around every object that has a magnetic property.
A magnetic field can exist without current due to the intrinsic magnetic properties of particles like electrons. In atoms and materials, the alignment of these particles' spins can create a magnetic field. This is known as magnetism and is responsible for phenomena like the Earth's magnetic field.
Yes, an electromagnetic field refers to the combination of electric and magnetic fields that are generated by electric charges and changing magnetic fields. This field propagates through space and carries electromagnetic energy.
An electromagnetic field is a physical field produced by electrically charged particles. It consists of electric fields and magnetic fields that interact with each other. When both electric and magnetic fields coexist, they form an electromagnetic field.
The divergence of magnetic field intensity is zero. This is because magnetic monopoles do not exist, meaning that the field lines always form closed loops and do not have sources or sinks. Mathematically, this is represented by Gauss's law for magnetism, ∇⋅B = 0.
