The Earth's magnetic field is a magnetic field that extends from the Earth's interior out into space, affecting compass directions and navigation.

A magnetic field is the area around a magnet or electric charge where other magnets or charges experience a force of attraction or repulsion.

Magnetic fields are created by moving electric charges, such as those in electric currents.

Metals like iron, nickel, and cobalt are attracted to magnets.

Aluminum is NOT attracted to a magnet.

An electric field is the area around a charged object where other charged objects experience a force.

Electric fields are created by static electric charges.
