Could you use a negatively polarized electro-magnet with a positively charged lightning storm to attract lightning to strike at your position?

Yes, an electro-magnet can attract lightning. However, it is not a reliable or safe method for attracting lightning.
An electro-magnet creates a strong magnetic field that can attract metal objects, including lightning. When lightning strikes, it is drawn towards the electro-magnet due to its strong magnetic field.
No, it is not safe to use an electro-magnet to attract lightning. The high voltage and current of lightning can be dangerous and potentially deadly. It is best to leave lightning attraction to lightning rods and other proven methods.
No, an electro-magnet should not be used as a substitute for a lightning rod. Lightning rods are specifically designed and tested to safely attract and redirect lightning strikes. An electro-magnet may not be able to handle the high voltage and current of lightning and can pose a safety risk.
There are no significant benefits to using an electro-magnet to attract lightning. In fact, it can be dangerous and ineffective. It is best to rely on proper lightning protection systems, such as lightning rods, to protect buildings and structures from lightning strikes.
