Yes, EM-Waves consist of an Electric and an orthogonal Magnetic field, these are linked, one can't exist without the other, otherwise you wouldn't get a wave. Partial discharge which is a form of corona discharge is caused by Electric fields.

Neat. So tell me, am I wrong in any of my statements this far. No? So what is the point of this tedious interaction?

You're citing random parts of a wikipedia article that talks about an effect caused by an electric field and claim that it's caused by a magnetic field. You're an unscientific troll.

It's not random if you read the wiki.

And you're a tedious know-it-all. So again answer my question have I said anything untrue? No, I phrased something in a way you don't agree with because it's atypical but not inaccurate.

Grow up or be more entertaining at the very least.
