The only thing I can think is that M is already use as a symbol letter for Motors.
ANSWER: IT SIGNIFY MAGNETICS HYSTERESIS THE FOUR QUADRANTS
You can make magnetic field lines with a magnet. You an use a permanent magnet, or an electromagnet.
Magnetic compasses will become unuseful when near a magnetic field.
In a magnetic compass, electric motors, security system sensors and a whole lot more.
One device for increasing the magnetic field surrounding a current carrying wire, is to wrap the conductor into a set of co-axial coils. A second device is to include a ferromagnetic material in the core of such a coil.
Mercury has a significant magnetic field.
Compasses use the magnetic field to navigate always pointing North.
You can use a magnetic field to move salt water. Magnetohydrodynamics.
Have you ever seen a magnet? Did you see the field? There you go. While you can't see the field itself directly, you can see the effects of the field if you use iron filings or something like that; they'll line up with the magnetic field lines
You can make magnetic field lines with a magnet. You an use a permanent magnet, or an electromagnet.

There would be a temporary weakening of the magnetic field during the reversal. After the reversal the only noticeable difference would be that compasses now point south instead of north. Navigation systems that use the magnetic field would need to be recalibrated.
Magnetic compasses will become unuseful when near a magnetic field.
Many (but not all) birds, fish,, insects, etc. have the ability to sense earth's magnetic field. They use this ability for navigation purposes, much as we use magnetic compases.
:-P
..get a compass?

Magnetic therapy is the use of magnets to relieve pain in various areas of the body.
