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 kind of electricity is lightning an example?
Lightning is an example of static electricity
Is lightning AC or DC voltage?
Lightning is static electricity. It's a buildup of charge, and it is facilitated by charge separation. In that light, it is DC.
Why is current electricity more useful than static electricity?
because static electricity cannot be controlled or manipulated like current electricity (think of the saying "lightning doesnt strike on the same place twice")
What is the difference of static electricity and current electricity?
Current electricity requires an energy source, it would not flow unless there is a complete circuit to flow through continuously and it only flow through conductors where as static electricity does not require all of these. Static electricity can have extra protons or electrons and there foe can be either positively or negatively charged. Current electricity is simply the flow of electrons(negative).
Is lightning a compound?
No. Lightning is static electricity.
What kind of electricity is lightning?
static electricity
What is the difference between lightning and the electricity that you use at home?
There isn't. Thomas Jeffrson couldve Tod you that. Lightning is just a huge charge of electricity from charged up clouds (and the ground, too!)
What is a natural form of static electricity?
A natural form of static electricity is lightning.
How does static electricity start?
How does static electricity start?
What are the two basic types of electricity?
The two types are "static electricity" and "current electricity."
What are examples of naturally electricity?
static electricity lightning
