If your intention is to connect an iPad with a Lightning port to an external monitor, you must use the Lightning to Digital AV Adapter - and connect using an HDMI cable:

The 2018/2020 models of iPad Pro - and the new 2020 iPad Air - are able to connect with some external monitors using a direct USB-C connection; if so connected, the iPad drives the attached monitor using the DisplayPort protocol. Alternatively, USB-C equipped models of iPad can connect to a TV or monitor using the appropriate Digital Media Adapter and HDMI:

Alternatively, you can mirror wirelessly to an external TV/display using AirPlay - requiring either an AppleTV box to be connected to your TV, or the TV to natively support Airplay:
