Which magnetic field?

If you're talking about the earth, the magnetic poles have switched polarity in the past. The earth is not a solid magnet, it is a liquid, specifically molten nickel. When the molten nickel shifts the magnetic field of the earth can change.

What flows through a circuit and causes a magnetic field?

An electric current flowing through a circuit causes a magnetic field. This is due to the movement of electric charges, usually electrons, in the circuit. The magnetic field produced is perpendicular to the direction of the current flow.


Are electromagnetic waves characterized by rarefactions and compressions?

No they are caused by changes in magnetic and electrical fields. When a magnetic field changes it causes an electric field that is perpendicular to it. And vice versa a changing electric field causes a perpendicular magnetic field. These changing fields propagate outwards at the speed of light and are what is meant by an electromagnetic wave.

How is earth a magnetic field?

The earth's magnetic field is caused by the fact that the earth has a moltern iron core. When moltern iron spins it causes an electric field. This causes an electromagnetic field. Some planets are too large or too small for the iron in their core to be molten.
