Lightning is static electricity. Charges move and build to the point that the voltage is so great that an arc will begin. Gas atoms and molecules in air have electrons torn from their orbitals to support conduction, and the arc begins and propagates as the bolt of lightning. In contrast, an alternator in a vehicle will energize a circuit and charge the battery in that vehicle. This is an example of a dynamic electric source in action.
What else can I help you with?
Is lightning a current or static electricity?
static electricity
What kind of electricity is lightning an example?
Lightning is an example of static electricity
What kind of electricity is lightning?
static electricity
What are examples of naturally electricity?
static electricity lightning
How does lightning realate to electricity?
Well i don't know about electricity but i know about static electricity. Lightning is like static electricity, except on a much bigger scale. Both lightning and static electricity happen because of the attraction between the opposite charges. When static electricity moves, it is a current. When static electricity in clouds discharges to earth there is a huge, very short current pulse (surge).
What is the lightning an example of?
Static electricity
A discharge of static electricity from a huge cloud is called a?
A discharge of static electricity from a huge cloud is called lightning.
How did Ben Franklin prove that lightning was static electricity?
Ben Franklin proved that lightning was static electricity by means of his kite experiment. He believed that lighting was a form of static electricity on a huge scale.
What is produced when static electricity is discharged in the air?
When static electricity is discharged in the air, it can produce a visible spark or a crackling sound. This occurs as the built-up electric charge is neutralized by moving from one object to another, usually through the air.
When was electricity produced and how?
The term "electricity" is derived from a term used by William Gilbert in 1600 to describe static electricity. The discovery that lightning is electrical was made by Benjamin Franklin in 1759.
Difference between static electricity and dynamic electricity?
There are two types of electricity; dynamic and static electricity. The main difference between these two types is that in static electricity, the electrons do not move but in dynamic electricity, the electrons move either in changing directions or in one direction.
Lightening is caused by?
Lightning is static electricity.
