What else can I help you with?
Can one flash of lightning contain enough electricity to light a house for a year?
No, one flash of lightning does not contain enough electricity to light a house for a year. While a lightning bolt does have a significant amount of energy, it is not enough to power a house for an extended period of time.
How can one acquire the power of lightning?
One cannot acquire the power of lightning as it is a natural phenomenon controlled by atmospheric conditions.
How many American houses can one lightning bolt power?
One lightning bolt could power one American household for one month. The problem would be that you have to know exactly where the lightning is going to strike.
Who discovered potential power that lightning might have?
Benjamin Franklin was the one to study lightning and realize it was electricity.
Why is one power still undiscovered in infamous after the lightning storm power?
you buy that power in the psn store
How many watts are in a lightning strike?
A typical lightning strike can release up to one billion watts of power.
What time of year do lightning occur?
at any one time there are almost 30 lightning strikes in the world
What can happen if your house was struck by lightning?
If lightning strikes the house you are in, either the bolt will be absorbed by a lighting rod, or it will do a considerable amount of damage to your house. If you need convincing, go out after a storm and find a tree that's been struck by lightning. Go buy a lightning rod.
How many lightning strike per year?
In the u.s. lightning strikes about 40 million times in one year.
Does thunder or lightning affect appliances like computer?
If lightning strikes and your house loses power with the computer is on, you will ruin the computer unless you have a back up power thing (I'm not sure of the name) on your computer. That's why you should always shut your computer down during a storm.Another AnswerIt can. The way it can affect your computer is to broadcast a massive surge through your house power.Residential power is subject to different forms of power fluctuations. Fluctuations can be more pronounced in areas near industrial parks where the limits on the local grid can be tested by the huge equipment plugged into it. You'd see more surges and brownouts. The devices in your house are designed to run on a specific power specification. If the power goes above the specification, it is called a surge. If it goes below the specification but above 0V, it is called a brownout. If the power is lost, or goes to 0V for any duration, it is called a blackout.Uninterruptable Power Supplies (UPS) or battery backup units are used in line with the power of sensitive equipment to filter out these fluctuations. For power black/brownouts, it switches from the house power to its internal battery power converted to residential AC specification. For power surges, provided they are not powerful enough to blow the circuits in the UPS, they shunt the excess voltage past the output power, effectively isolating the equipment from the power anomaly.Lightning strikes are a different ball game all together. A strike on the grid close to your house will burn just about anything plugged into the walls. It has to be recognized that a bolt of lightning, which is essentially a huge arc, reaching your house has just traveled miles to reach your location. The few inches between the switches on your wall or the UPS control circuits, are not going to be noticed by the phenomenon. The likelihood of lightning striking your house is very low. If lightning strikes around your house are frequent, you should have already invested in a well designed set of lightning rods.UPS are different from Protected Power Strips. PPS do not condition the house power at all. They are pretty much useless except for controlling multiple outlets with one switch.
How much power is in one strike of lightning?
this depends on what you are asking, exactly. the actual measurement of power is very different than if you were asking how many volts are in a bolt a lightning. please clarify your question so we know how to answer.
Which one of ben Franklin's inventions helped protect people from buildings and ships from lightning?
That would be the Lightning Rod. It even has Lightning in the name.
