A compass needle oscillates when placed in a background magnetic field by gathering magnetic field lines and changing its polarity, causing it to vibrate, as understood by Michael Faraday in his experimental research. The document discusses Faraday's explanation for how a compass needle oscillates when subjected to a background magnetic field and provides a quote from Faraday's work describing this phenomenon.

"... a [compass] needle vibrates by gathering upon itself, because of it magnetic condition and polarity, a certain amount of the lines of force, which would otherwise traverse the space about it..." Michael Faraday, Experimental Researches in Electricity, Volume III, New York Dover Publications, 1965. This is how Faraday understood the oscillations of a compass in a background field.
