A fundamental law of electrostatics is that opposite charges attract. You've figured out that like charges repel. Couple this with the idea that only negative charges more (the electrons), and you're on your way to an investigation of how electrostatics works.

How lighting rod prevent lighting from causing house to catch on fire?
The electricity from lightning will follow a wire from the lightning rod to the ground.
Can chickens get hit by lightning?
Any object can get hit by lighting. Here are two general rules, first, the taller the object is (like trees), the greater the chances the object can be hit by lighting (because lighting hits the tallest object in the effected area). Second, the closer the object A is to a taller object (like a tree), the greater the chances the that lighting can indirectly hit the object A. Why? Lighting is electricity and electricity travels in circuits, so when lighting hits the tree, it travels into the ground and spreads into the ground, eventually diluting it. If object A is near it, the electricity can travel into the object. In this case Object A is the chicken. So yes, a chicken can get indirectly hit by lighting.
Why doesn't rubber attract lightning?
Lightening is attracted to substances that conduct electricity, Rubber is a VERY poor conductor of electricity.
Why is lightning not used as a source of electricity for humans?
because lighting can't hurt people
How lighting occur?
For example, in an old-fashioned (inefficient) incandescent light bulb, the electricity passes through a thin wire, heats it up, and this heat produces light. Newer light bulbs use a different mechanism for lighting.
Is lighting attracted to water?
Yes, it is.

On what energy does can lighting work?
Electricity is used for lighting and it is measured in kilowatts per hour. It is estimated that about 17% to 20% of all electricity used in the US is for lighting alone.
What produces electricity naturally?
LIGHTING!!!
Is thermal energy can be used as electricity?
Yes, it is can be used as electricity by lighting etc.
How much electricity is in lighting?
1,000 Bolts
How does electricity get into lighting?
The question is a lot like asking "How does water get into ice ?"Lightning is electricity, so the electricity doesn't have to get into it.
