For example, the needle of a compass has the lowest magnetic potential energy when it is aligned with the north and south poles of the Earth's magnetic field.
(the needle of a compass; has; the lowest magnetic potential energy when it is aligned with the north and south poles of the Earth's magnetic field) (it; is aligned; with the north and south poles of the Earth's magnetic field)
the needle of a compass it
has is aligned
the lowest magnetic potential energy when it is aligned with the north and south poles of the Earth's magnetic field
with the north and south poles of the Earth's magnetic field
