Benjamin Franklin showed that lightning is electricity. He did this through the famous experiment in which he flew a kite in a thunder storm, had a metal key attached to the kite string and observed sparks from the key. With two centuries worth of additional knowledge about electricity and thunder storms, most knowledgable people consider that Franklin was extremely lucky to have survived the experiment.
Lightning is an example of static electricity
Static electricity
True. Lightning is a natural example of static electricity, which occurs when there is a build-up of electrical charge in the atmosphere that discharges in the form of a lightning bolt.
Yes.

Lightning.
Lightning doesn't become electricity. Lightning already is electricity.
Lightning is an example of current electricity because it is the flow of electrons (current) through the atmosphere due to differences in charge buildup in clouds and the ground. This flow of electrons creates a temporary pathway through the air, resulting in the visible discharge of electricity in the form of lightning.
Yes, a lightning bolt can provide electricity because a lightning bolt is electricity.
No. Charge has been separated and is finding its way back.
Lightning is an example of electrical energy found in nature. Lightning is a natural discharge of static electricity that occurs during thunderstorms, creating a powerful electrical current.
Lightning is an example of an electrical discharge, not an electric field. It occurs when an electric field builds up in the atmosphere due to positive and negative charges separating, and then discharges as a bolt of electricity.
