Well, that statement is completely incorrect. The magnetic field doesn’t attract particles, which I stated in my earlier comment. It only guides the particles towards the poles, particles which were already headed towards the planet after being emitted. It does not attract particles (pull, in your words) towards the planet that would otherwise miss it had the magnetic field not existed.
In fact, a stronger magnetic field would be a better shield to deflect particles away from a majority of the planet.
That is a fundamental misunderstanding of how magnetic fields and the forces they induce work. Attract and guide are both words that mean the same thing in this context, ie “apply force to.” Not sure what else to tell you; I dont feel like teaching you electrodynamics so I wont reply to this thread again.

You won’t, because you fundamentally misunderstand what’s happening.
