How can we create and alter magnetic fields without electricity or movement?
Magnetic fields are created by electric currents, which consist of electric charges in motion. There is no other way to create a magnetic field. There are permanent magnets, of course, which don't have to be connected to a power source to create a magnetic field. But they work by the alignment of internal currents made up of the electrons in their atoms. You can alter a magnetic field by putting objects made of iron and certain other materials in the field. But again, the ultimate cause of the effects they have on the field is internal motion of electrons in the material's atoms - in other words, electric currents.
