Magnetic Fields, also known as B-fields, are force fields that can be explained by relativistic effects of electric currents. Magnetic fields only exert a force on moving charges.

The magnetic field of Earth is directional nearly north-to-south. This field has been decaying at a rapid rate of about about 5% per century, which casts doubt on the theory that the Earth is billions of years old.[1]
