This happens due to the lack of electrons. Metals have a solid flow of electric current in their bodies due to the presence of free electrons moving throughout. These electrons are responsible for carrying electric charges which makes them a good conductor of electricity. however, the lack of these electrons in non-metals makes them an insulator.

As per electric current, the key difference between an electron and a proton is that electrons are directly responsible for carrying electric current. On the other hand, protons do not contribute in the passage of current since they are held tightly by the nucleus in the centre of the atom.

When the electric charges moves, it creates attraction or repulsion. It creates magnetic forces and fields and called magnetism. The term "magnetism and matter" talks about the way magnetic forces and matter interact.
