Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Fridge magnets are made of weakly ferromagnetic ceramics like barium ferrite or strontium ferrite. The magnetic field created by the fridge magnet aligns the spins of unpaired electrons in metal atoms in the fridge in such a way that the magnet and the fridge door are attracted to each other; this force keeps the magnet stuck to the fridge.
