In lightning we hardly know the voltage level and current flown in advance. It is also not possible to predict the same.
Also if we are to generate electricity from lightning, the level of insulation required by the electrical apparatus would be very high so that they would be costly.
Lightning is of high intermittent nature so it is difficult to supply the grid with the electricity generated from lightning.
Harvesting the power of lightning has proved to be very difficult, and no one has successfully found a way. A lightning strike happens very quickly, so extremely high electrical power is involved. It is difficult to convert high voltage power to the lower-voltage electricity that can be stored. Theoretically, yes, the energy from a lightning bolt be caught and stored. Practically, no, you would never be able to build a big enough capacitor to hold the charge. There is just too much energy in a lightning bolt to harness with today's technology. although there are those that believe this fulminology machine actually exists and at this moment in time is being withheld due the enormity of its consequences?

How does lightning become electricity?
Lightning doesn't become electricity. Lightning already is electricity.
What kind of electricity is lightning an example?
Lightning is an example of static electricity
Can a lightning bolt provide electricity?
Yes, a lightning bolt can provide electricity because a lightning bolt is electricity.
How does lightning create electricity?
Lightning is just basically the visual effect of electricity itself that is produced on you. Lightning is electricity!
Is thunder electricity?
No. Thunder is the sound produced by lightning. Lightning is a form of electricity.
Is lightning a compound?
No. Lightning is static electricity.
How does lightning have electricity in it?
Well, a lightning bolt is formed by charged electrons and when it is released, it is electricity.
What kind of electricity is lightning?
static electricity
What is the difference between lightning and the electricity that you use at home?
There isn't. Thomas Jeffrson couldve Tod you that. Lightning is just a huge charge of electricity from charged up clouds (and the ground, too!)
Does electricity make a lightning?
Do we harness electricity from lightning? No. It's a lot of electricity at one time, and it's too unpredictable to be cost effective to develop a means of harnessing it's power. Lightning rods simply transfer the electricity into the ground, so as to protect structures.
What animal is responsible for electricity?
No Animal is responsible for electricity humans first harnessed lightning for electricity and lightning comes from a change in the troposphere.
Can lightning produce 100 million volts of static electricity?
Can v produce electricity with help of lightning.......
