False: when an electron and positron annihilate each other, energy is given off as a single photon. The system of the compass and the earth"s magnetic field have the lowest energy: we can create an electromagnet by making electric current flow around in a loop.

The same charge moving around in the same circle in an anticlockwise direction would create the same magnetic field.
