Air is the poor conductor but during lightning electric current passes through itwhy?
Chhavikhandelwalgp26...
air becomes good conductor during lightning and thunderstorm as usually it is a bad conductor because when there is lightning the lightning bolt travel through air,an electron flow takes place. this electron flow through the air leaves behinfd it a little hollow channel in the air it produces charge and air gets charged with this and becomes good conductor during lightning and thundestorm.
thanx..........

∙ 9y agoLightning is an example of an electrical arc. In an electrical arc, air turns to plasma, which consists of positive ions and free negative electrons. This makes plasma a good conductor of electricity.

How do magnets magnetic fields electric currents and metals connect?
Well when an electric current flows through a conductor a magnetic field is produced. And a changing magnetic flux through a conductor produces a current in the conductor.
How electric current causes magnetic field around conductor?
Electric current causes magnetic field around conductor by producing a moving electric charges and the intrinsic magnetic moments of an elementary particles that is associated with a fundamental quantum property.
What kills you when you get an electric shock?
electric current through your nerves and/or muscles, especially through your heart
Current passing through a conductor is increased from 10 A to 15 A. This decreases the strength of the magnetic field produced by the conductor.?
No. More current will result in more magnetic field.
How a magnetic field is created and how its strength is affected?
Through a current in a conductor; it is strengthened once by making a coil of the conductor and then by inserting an easily magnetized core inside the coil
When an electric charge moves through a conductor there is an electric in the conductor?
current
The flow of electrons through a conductor is called?
electric current
Does an electric current flow through a material that is conductor or an insulator?
A conductor
What is it that allows electric current to flow through it?
A conductor.
In an electric circuit resistance is?
Resistance is the opposition to the flow of electric current through a conductor. It is defined as the ratio of the potential difference (volts) between the ends of the conductor to the magnitude of the current (amps) through the conductor.
How do magnets magnetic fields electric currents and metals connect?
Well when an electric current flows through a conductor a magnetic field is produced. And a changing magnetic flux through a conductor produces a current in the conductor.
Does lightning have a solid state?
No. Lightning is an electric current flowing through ionized air.
How does electromagnetic induction produce induced current?
Before you can understand how electrical energy is supplied by your electric company, you need to know how it is produced. A magnet and a conductor, such as a wire, can be used to induce a current in the conductor. The key is motion. An electric current is induced in a conductor when the conductor moves through a magnetic field. Generating an electric current from the motion of a conductor through a magnetic field is called electromagnetic induction. Current that is generated in this way is called induced current. To induce a current in a conductor, either the conductor can move through the magnetic field or the magnet itself can move.
Which part of a circuit is a current?
Current is the flow of electric charge or the rate of the flow of an electric charge through a conductor.
What is the word for the flow of electric charge through a conductor?
hungarera
What is encountered by the electric current while flowing through a conductor?
ambot
What is a material called that allows an electric current to flow through it?
A conductor.
