SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the interaction between a magnet and a surface with a strong negatively charged field. It concludes that a magnet placed on such a surface will not experience any repulsion or movement, as there is no magnetic force acting on a stationary charge. The type of surface, whether ferrous (like iron or steel) or non-ferrous (like aluminum), does not influence this outcome. The key takeaway is that the magnet's position and angle remain unchanged due to the absence of magnetic force on stationary charges.

Magnit
If we take a surface with a strong negatively charged field and place a magnet in it in a specified position so that it does not change its angle, will the magnet be repelled and move to the side?

Is the surface made of a ferrous metal (like iron or steel) or a non-ferrous metal (like aluminum)? Whether the surface is electrically charged or not should not affect the forces on the magnet per se -- You could get electrostatic forces on the metal of the magnet, but I don't think the magnetization would make a difference.

There is no magnetic force on a stationary charge. So there will not be any repulsion as described.
