A Magnetic base works using a powerful magnet and three metallic plates.

Out of the three plates, two of them are made of Iron ( para magnetic i.e. attracted by a magnet) and the third one is made of a non para-magnetic (for example Aluminum).

The plates are made so that they make a cylindrical housing in the center in a way that the Iron plates surround the Aluminum plate.

The magnet is made of a cylindrical shape with the North and South poles on its length not on its faces(on its circular face, to understand draw two lines form top to bottom on a glass each on the opposite side.

Now when you turn the KNOB, you rotate the magnet so that the poles come in contact with the Iron plates and the base becomes magnetized.

and to de-magnetize, the KNOB is turned to make the poles face the Aluminum plate.

Why don't magnetic compesses work in space?

There are still magnetic fields in space - especially if you remain close to Earth. But magnetic compasses are usually designed to use gravity, which you won't have if you are in free fall. A specially-designed magnetic compass would work, though.

Can a static magnetic field do positive work on charged particles?

No, a static magnetic field cannot do positive work on charged particles. Magnetic fields can only do work on moving charged particles by changing their directions of motion or causing them to spiral. Static magnetic fields do not affect stationary charged particles.

Why magnetic force not do any work?

Magnetic force does not do any work because it acts perpendicular to the direction of motion of the charged particle. Work is defined as force acting in the direction of motion, and since magnetic force acts perpendicular to the motion, it does not transfer energy to the particle in the form of work.
