An electromagnet works because electrons are in motion; not because any
causal relationship exists between an electric field and a magnetic field.

Such relationship cannot be causal because E fields and H fields exist
simultaneously. The basic concept of causality is that A must precede B in
order for A to cause B.

If you have not done so, I highly recommend you get (and carefully read)
Jefimenk's "Causality, Electromagnetic Induction and Gravitation." If, after
doing so, you still think that E causes H and vice-versa, then I think that
a very spirited discussion will likely ensue.

Cheers,
