What is the best metal to attract electricity?
Copper Gold and platinum are the most reliable and are used in spacecraft and satellite production. It is too expensive for commercial use though. Copper and aluminum are third and fourth in conductivity.
Why cant static electricity be created on a metal tube by rubbing it with another material?
Static electricity is typically generated by the transfer of electrons between two materials with different tendencies to attract electrons. Since metals are conductive, any excess charge on the metal tube will quickly dissipate due to the free movement of electrons within the metal. This prevents the buildup of static electricity on a metal tube when rubbed with another material.
Why doesn't wood and metal attract to static electricity?
Static electricity is a build up of electrons. Static means still or stationary. Electrons on metal can not be stationary as the metal is such a good conductor of electricity. To remove static electricity after dragging your feet on a nylon carpet just touch a metal appliance or pipe eg a tap. Wood is generally porous so electrons again do not build up but ebony will build a static charge as it is a very dense wood. Electrons build up on plastic as it is a poor conductor. The electrons are static and a charge builds. Static electricity is caused by electrons being knocked off or building up on objects that are not normally good conductors.
What are the types of lightning conductors?
The two main types of lightning conductors are Franklin rods, which are tall metal rods that attract lightning strikes and conduct the electricity to the ground, and Faraday cages, which are enclosed metal structures that protect objects inside from lightning strikes by directing the electricity around the outer surface.
What is a form of electricity that can attract things?
Static electricity is a form of electricity that can attract things. It occurs when there is an imbalance of electric charges on the surface of objects, causing them to be either positively or negatively charged. This imbalance can cause objects to attract or repel each other.
What kinds of metal attracts lightning?
I think it's just normal metal. I belive it has to have a certin type of ingrediant in the metal to attract it to the electricity in the lightning. As in, the telephone and television wires attract lightning and electricity with some sort of element in the metal.

Why is it not advisable to walk across an open space carrying an umbrella under a thundery condition?
Most Umbrellas have metal in them and that will attract electricity.

Is lightning attracted to generators?
Why electromagnet is used for separating plastic bags?

Can tent poles attract lightning?
While tent poles are metal and metal does conduct electricity, most manufactures will have some type of current block and if the tent is plastic then that will also stop lightning.
