How does a compass work in FE
« on: July 25, 2019, 08:30:35 PM »
I have searched the wiki and forums for the answer to this question, but I have not found an answer that fully explains how a compass is possible in FE.

In RE, a compass works due to magnetism. FE proposes a similar answer, and a compass still relies on magnetism, but what I have not understood is how is a magnetic field created on FE?

RE relies on a rotating core that generates electromagnetic pulses which expands its way into a large magnetic field surrounding the globe (overly simplified explanation). The needle on a compass, which is essentially a free-standing magnet, is attracted to the poles through normal magnetism - opposite poles attract.

How is this magnetic field created in FE? This is what I have been unable to find in the wiki and the forums. Thanks in advance for your candor.
