Yes, but they don't change direction.. The relationship between a
traveling electric field and associated magnetic field are still
related by a vector cross product that does not change no matter where
you are on the earth's surface or in space, (Einstein and Hawking's
black hole theories aside.) This means that a beam of electrons will
be deflected exactly the same way by the same magnetic field no matter
where you are and your TV will work the same way at the north pole,
Amundsen-Scott Station and everywhere in between.
Oxygen molecules are ever slightly magnetic ... one-third of waters
composition is oxygen molecules.
When you pull the plug in your sink, in the northern hemisphere the
"whirlpool" which forms spins in one direction, in the southern hemisphere
the opposite direction (this computed on an average, or, force/contrivance
can be applied to change the direction of normal spin.)
I know of NO ONE who claims to know FOR CERTAIN, EXACTLY why, this happens
or is able to offer conclusive proof ... to say more would only be
guessing. To say the previous in any other manner would suggest more is
known than actually is ... that is simply all which IS "known."
One can extrapolate upon the above and venture guesses/theories, caution
should be used when doing so.

I t doesnt happen, water swirling down the drain in different directionn
because you are in the southern or northern hemisphere is a myth.
