This paper presents a new detailed study of magnetic moments and form factors of nuclei with mass number $A$ up to 10, based on $a\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}b$-$i\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}n\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}i\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}t\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}i\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}o$ approaches and chiral effective field theory. The results of quantum Monte Carlo calculations for elastic magnetic form factors show excellent agreement with experimental data out to momentum transfers $q\ensuremath{\approx}3$ fm${}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$. Benchmarking such electroweak current models against available data over a wide range of kinematics allows for accurate predictions, which are very important to disentangle signals of new physics from nuclear physics effects.
