Charge is origimated in clouds due to friction from other clouds but there is no specific mechanism to carry it, they just bear it.
electricity
Charges carry energy because of their electric potential energy, which is the energy associated with the position of a charge in an electric field. When charges move in an electric field or in a circuit, they do work by transferring this energy, leading to the flow of electrical energy.
Clouds acquire huge electric charges through a process called "charge separation." This occurs when ice particles in the cloud collide with each other, causing positive and negative charges to separate. The separation results in a buildup of electric potential that can lead to lightning strikes.
Lightning is an electrical current that starts in clouds due to differences in electrical charges between parts of the clouds.
Electric current carries electric charge. Actually to say it in the right sense, we have to say that electric current is the rate of flow of electric charges
The measure of how much energy electric charges in a current carry is called electric power. It is the rate at which energy is transferred by an electric circuit. The unit of electric power is the watt.
The basic idea is to carry off excess electric charges, before they become dangerous - to humans, or to electronic equipment, depending on the case.
Neutrinos are similar to electrons, but are different, in that neutrinos do not carry electric charges.
Lightning is created when positive charges (protons) in the clouds interact with negative charges on the ground, creating an electric field. When the electric field becomes strong enough, it causes a rapid discharge of electricity in the form of lightning. This discharge equalizes the charges between the clouds and the ground.
Clouds that produce lightning have electrical energy. This energy is generated by the separation of positive and negative charges within a cloud, which results in the discharge of lightning as a way to balance these charges.
ALL animals of all shapes and sizes carry some form of electric charge.
Yes. Although the development of these charges is still mostly understood, the buildup of opposite charges in the clouds can create a discharge (lightning) between the cloud and the ground, or the cloud and another cloud. Sometimes the distribution of charges can be seen in a dendritic (forked) pattern of lightning bolts. (see related link)
