Can a medieval suit of armor protect you from a lightning bolt?
Yes, because as it attracts lightning due to being a conductor, it safes you for the very same reason. The armor will act as a Faraday cage just like a car is safe from lightning for the very same reason.
Why doesn't rubber attract lightning?
Lightening is attracted to substances that conduct electricity, Rubber is a VERY poor conductor of electricity.
Is graphene a conductor?
It is a very good conductor.
WHY is it placed on top of the building the ligthing rod?
Because lightning is always attracted to the highest points. Lightning rods are attached to long, insulated cables which lead down to the ground - and are anchored deep in the earth. Placing a lightning conductor at the very top of a building, almost guarantees that any strike will be conducted safely down to earth.
Does lightning travel through water?
It travels very well underwater as you know. Water is a very good conductor of electricity. That's why you should never bath and swim in waters while there's a thunderstorm going on in your area
Can lightning strike people in lake water?
yes, because water is a very good conductor of lightning
What is a substance that electricity will flow through?
Conductor... water is a VERY good conductor of electricity... hence why you shouldn't swim in a lightning storm.
What is larger tornado or lightning?
A tornado can get wide, very wide. A bolt of lightning is only one half inch thick.
If you are swimming in the sea can you be struck by lightning?
Yes. Lightning is very attracted to water; it is an excellent conductor of electricity. a surfer in Cornwall was struck while surfing

Can water conduct electricity?
Yes water is a very good conductor of electricity, that is why you are not supposed to take a shower in a lightning storm.
Why doesn't rubber attract lightning?
Lightening is attracted to substances that conduct electricity, Rubber is a VERY poor conductor of electricity.
Is a wax crayon a good conductor?
it is a conductor, but rather a very weak one. VERY WEAK
How aircraft is protected from Lightning?
The aircraft has a special coating that somehow repels lightning so the aircraft isn't affected. The coating is usually aluminum which is a very good conductor of electricity. I hope this info has been of help to everyone.
Is air a good conductor of electricity?
Air is a relatively-very-poor electrical conductor. If it were any good as a conductor,then you would need to keep your spare batteries in vacuum containers, to preventtheir becoming discharged through the air between their terminals.
Air is the poor conductor but during lightning electric current passes through itwhy?
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.......... prachi singh india
Why copper strips are used in meter bridge wire?
The resistivity of copper is very low and as the strip is so thick then resistance would be almost zero.
