Do electronics affect the way lightning strikes?

Or technology is very advanced that the structures are reinforced internally. We also have lightning rods, which attracts lightning and is a safe way to prevent lightning strikes

you will need a star or a bullet bill to dodge lightning...and use the item before the lightning strikes

Sometimes the damage from a lightning strike to a boat is minimal and sometimes it is catastrophic. There is no exact way of knowing in advance.

Lightning is the flow of electrons attempting to equalize static charges - usually between clouds or between a cloud and ground. What happens when it strikes depends totally on the path it takes. Anything that gets in its way is likely to be damaged.

A tornado spins regarless of whether it is being hit by lighting. Lightning will not affect a tornado in any observable way. The lightning itself will not spin, but the plasma may be swept along by the wind. If the linking has multiple strokes, it may appear to consist of several parallel bolts in a phenomenon called ribbon lighting, which occurs when lightning strikes in the presense of strong winds.

He just does that's his power. He yells SHAZAM, and the magical lightning comes down and strikes him, but i fhe moves out of its way, it can be used as a weapon.

when lighting strikes the lightning dosnt stay the way it ws it dissapears away and it moves some where else and when it moves it changes its shape that is why lightning is a physical change

*Lightning carries a current and has way too many volts for your t.v/phone/computer/etc. to handl and that is why they short circuit.

If it's real close, the fish can die. If it's further way, it's safe.

Answer Plants have a certain amount of water or sap in them and could possibly conduct electricity. IN ADDITION: When lightning strikes the top of a tree and the lightning makes its way all the way to the ground, I would definitely say yes they do.

The full expression is: like a (lightning) bolt from the blue, meaning the rare instance of a bolt of lightning that strikes a long way from its cloudy source, seemingly out of a clear blue sky.

Most airplanes can survive lightning strikes due to their thick strong skin and high altitudes. Airplanes are very safe to fly and they get rid the waste of human lives because they are extremely well maintained and cannot break into pieces that easily. Airplanes only take 4 to 7% damage of lightning strikes and they can also handle as much turbulence than you think. Airplanes are over-built with several layers of thick and strong skin…

When a lightning strikes the building, it will preferentially strike the rod and be conducted harmlessly to the ground through the wire, instead of passing through the building. The rod discharges the high voltage current into the earth and in this way the buildings are protected from being electrocuted.

Answer #1: Yes it does, that's why people install metal sticks on house roofs. in that way lightning makes it in the same place. ==================================== Answer #2: An old legend says that "Lightning never strikes twice in the same place". But the truth is that if you're a tall building or a radio tower, then lightning can easily strike you hundreds of times.

To the metal? Not much, it will conduct through the metal then jump to the next conductor on its way to ground. Might be a burn at the entry/exit points.

Lightning does not normally strike a house, penetrate its outer layer (the roof) and go through the air to a particular object inside the house. If it does strike the house it tends to divert along conductive paths, such as telephone, electric or cable TV wiring or copper rain gutters or metal plumbing or even the foil on the wall insulation. The common scenario when lightning strikes a house is that the energy from the…

By preventing dangerous lightning strikes on tall buildings, the lightning rod encouraged the multi-story buildings (and later skyscrapers) that eventually appeared in most major urban areas. Importantly (but not in a world-changing way), they also prevented many rural fires caused by lightning igniting wooden barns full of hay and straw.

This doesn't really make sense because there is no specific time span between lightning strikes. The only thing I can say is that if the lightning is brighter, than it is no more than three miles way from where you are currently. And I'm not talking about altitude either.

The same way they do any other piece of electronics. On the Mac a power failure will do no harm.

No there wasnt 2nd Answer: Of course there was electricity. Static electricity, lightning, and so on. Lightning strikes often started dry wood on fire . . . the people would pick up burning pieces of wood, and save them in a certain way to start campfires later on.

By not affecting it in any way. The manufacture of electronic devices might affect the ozone layer, if that manufacture releases free radicals or freon (chloroflurocarbons) into the atmosphere ... free radicals destroy ozone. However, electronics themselves have no impact on the ozone layer.

The way i understand lightning is that is searches for the highest point of ground and water is affected by gravity so to me that says lightning should never hit Fresh water unless the waters charge has been changed and is a massive conductor May i remind you im not smart just telling it how i see it Crazey_Eyez

it is the kenetic energy produced by water molecules rubbing against each other that's also why lightning is hot because of the molecules rubing together and heating up Electric charge is not kinetic energy. Lightning is Electrostatic charge finding its way back to earth, from where it originally came. The electrical energy is converted to heat in the materials it strikes.

I'm not aware of anything that can be done to prevent or reduce the amount of lightning in a storm, and I doubt much success at all could have had with that given the physics of it. All that can be done is make things safer on the ground - keep people safer and keep electronics more out of the way.

if you're in a plane, there's no need to worry because it wouldn't affect you in any way if you're inside of it. . . but if you're in a glider, if i were you i would pray to all the gods that i know that a lightning doesn't strike me. . .

In addition to providing a conducting path to ground in case a lightning strike occurs, lightning rods also reduce the number of large lightning strikes by reducing the static charge build-up in the atmosphere around the building. The pointed end of the rod creates an attraction point for the excess charge and siphons it to ground, reducing the charge difference between the cloud and the building. If you get a chance to deal with a…

No,it can fall dozens of time in the same place. Go to starryskies.com/Artshtml/dln/5-00/lightening.html or wvlightning.com/lmwn1a.shtml Depending on your interpretation of the myth, it can be true, there has never been a recorded instance where a lightning hit in the same way rather than the more famous interpretation of the end position.

Lightning is a flash of electricity from the storm clouds to the ground. It is caused by conditions that build up a difference in electrical potential, measured in volts, between the clouds and the ground. When it strikes it usually hits the highest point in that area. Therefore don't take shelter under a tree in a thunder storm (or carry a large metal object). These "lightning strikes" have tremendous power and bring down large trees…

Some fish actually do die, if they are unfortunate to swim near where the lightning strikes. However, the electricity from the bolt of lightning is dispersed through the water only over a short distance. When lightning strikes the ocean, there is not enough electric current to lethally charge the worlds water supply, so most fish are safe. ----------- First of all, some fish do die. However the electricity dissipates (becomes weaker from the electricity spreading…

Lightning War was a nickname given to the way the Germans fought. They fought in such a way that battles with them did not last long, thus the term lightning war.

Your question is unclear the way it is written. Do you mean lightning? What do you mean by prouces? That seems not to be a word. You probably mean earth's. Edit the question and maybe someone can answer.

It's the other way round, soldering is used in electronics.

Electronics recycling is when you bring in your used or broken electronics in and they are recycled for parts or broken down to make new parts. This is a safe and helpful way to get rid of unwanted electronics.

If there was lightning the best way to warning it stay under your blanket. Lightning comes from thunderstorms that are from cumulonimbus clouds. Thunder is sound from lightning.

thunder and lightning do not come together as lightning is way much faster than thunder.

If this is the true way, you can see the lightning, then count how many seconds between the thunder and lightning, then divide that number by 2 or 5, but I'm not sure which one.

No, there is not any prevention of lightning. You can't just wish lightning gone and it go away. So NO THERE IS NOT ANY WAY TO PREVENT LIGHTNING FROM HAPPENING.

Lightning is created by a thunderstorm, not the other way around. Not all "thunderstorms" (cumulonimbus cloud formations) have lightning, but that is how they were named.

lighting strikes the earth by being atracted to protons. when an earth bound object senses a compatible electric current it feels the need to bind. so it sends out its' own current therefore attracting the lighting to it. there are protons and most all things. so that is why it is dangerous. if there is a tree outside somebodys daughters window during a lighting storm and lighting hits it, then bye bye daughter if it…

In electronics it simply means a way to control either voltage and/or current there are mechanical regulators not related to electronics

One way is that Ben Franklin invented the lightning rod in 1752.

I wanted to answer this question to, I learned some of the basics of what lightning will strike. In this question, metal would be the correct answer, but there is something to learn about the wood part. Remember: Lightning can strike anywhere, and it can strike the same place twice! Lightning strikes on earth about 100 times per second! Wood: No lightning striking wood is unlikely, but here we would be considering tall trees. Taller…

first of all, lightning strikes the tallest object that it can find. this is because lightning is trying to find a way to the ground. trees are tall and catch the lightning before anything else because it is so tall. but second of all, the reason it is dangerous to stay under a tree is not because it might fall down. the actual reason is because the lightning heats the air around it. since it…

Scientists haven't found a way yet. Harnessing lightning is currently only fictional.

lightning is a product of friction of the clouds and will try and find its way to the ground by seeking metal producs.

Electronics recycling has surfaced as a way to deal with e-waste or used electronics. Improper disposal of electronics can release toxins, such as, lead, mercury and chromium into the environment. Electronics recycling is when items are disassembled and disposed of properly. Many companies, such as Best Buy, offer electronics recycling for your old items.

Sheet lightning and Heat lightning are very similar, if not the same. They form the same way, but might strike different. For instance, sheet lightning looks more like a sheet in the sky, (strange eh? :D) and doesn't normally strike down into the ground, and when you have heat lightning, you see differently. But mostly, they form the same way. =D good luck!

I agree that strikes, demonstrations, and rallying *are* a good way to bring about change. Ex: Egypt

By nature, lightening strikes the tallest object within a vicinity. If the object is not only a good conductor, but also taller than surrounding objects, the electricity will follow the path of least resistance, hence creating a diversion to "lure" it away from the building. note: study the physics in how lightening actually strikes objects. It actually charges ions in the ground, and sort of meets them half way...

Ultra Electronics is not an electronics store the way that Best Buy or Fry's Electronics is. The Ultra Electronics company produces a lot of electrical based products. Anything from aircraft systems, vehicle systems,power systems, information systems, tactical systems, and naval systems.
