Answer:
As an orbital can contain a maximum of only two electrons, the two electrons must have opposing spins. ... When electrons that have opposite spins are put together, there is no net magnetic field because the positive and negative spins cancel each other out.

Answer:
An explanation of this is that an electron has a magnetic field due to its spin. When electrons thathave opposite spins are put together, there is no net magnetic field because the positive and negative spins cancel each other out.
