Does permanent magnet attract more lightnings than metal only?

Best Answers

No. Only local electric fields matter to determine paths of ionization that ultimately cause the formation of lightning. read more

The magnetic domains in a permanent magnet produce no significant effect on the electrical polarization in a hunk of metal that causes strong electric fields to build up outside of the more pointed parts of the metal under the influence of external electric fields. read more

Magnets are made in different shapes, depending on their intended use. The magnetic field is concentrated around the poles of the magnet. The magnetic field around a the poles cannot be seen, but its presence is seen when holding a ferrous object next to it. The best way to see the magnetic field is by using tiny pieces of iron, called iron fillings. read more
