What else can I help you with?
What if lightning struck down and you had a lightning rod on top of your house?
It may strike the lightning rod. A properly installed lightning rod will prevent a lightning strike from setting your house on fire, at least for the most part. The energy of the bolt is carried by the rod and the ground wire. This system "contains" the electric current by offering it a low resistance path to ground. If lightning strikes a tree, a power pole, or a house, it travels through the tree, pole or house. This high current can super heat that wood or other materials and cause them to explode or burst into flames. Damage will result, and very possibly a fire. The lightning rod minimizes the chances of extensive damage and fire in the event of a strike on a house.
What sphere would lightning be found?
Lightning does not have cells, does not have a metabolism, does not reproduce, does not maintain homeostasis, and does not respond to stimuli.
Would the plastic lightning rod work better than the same as or not as well as a metal lightning rod?
A metal lightning rod is more conductive than a plastic one, so it would work better in attracting and conducting lightning strikes away from a structure. Plastic is not a good conductor of electricity, so a plastic lightning rod would not be as effective in protecting against lightning strikes.
Would a wooden lightning rod work?
No, a wooden lightning rod would not work effectively. Lightning rods are typically made of conductive materials like copper or aluminum to safely conduct the electrical charge of a lightning strike to the ground, thus protecting the structure it is attached to. Wood is not conductive and would not serve this purpose well.
Is it dangerous to swim when there is lightning?
The safest distance from lightning while swimming is in your house. If you hear thunder it is possible taht lightning could strike you. If you are swimming and you hear thunder the best thing to do is to go inside.
Can you get struck by lightning outside?
Yes. Outside is normally where that would happen. If you are inside, your house protects you from any direct lightning strike.
How do lighting rod work?
The lightning strikes the rod and the rod safely directs the lightning to the ground to keep the house safe.Otherwise,the lightning would discharge onto the roof and likely cause a fire.

If Pip were to go to work for the branch house in Cairo what position did Herbert mention that he would have to fill?
Herbert mentioned to Pip that if he were to work for the branch house in Cairo, he would have to fill the position of clerk.
Which one of ben Franklin's inventions helped protect people from buildings and ships from lightning?
That would be the Lightning Rod. It even has Lightning in the name.
Where would you position a marine aquarium in your house?
Away from natural light.
Who would fill the vice president's position if he's not there?
The Speaker of the House.
Is lightning more likely to strike an electrical adjustable bed than a regular one?
Lightning does not normally strike a house, penetrate its outer layer (the roof) and go through the air to a particular object inside the house. If it does strike the house it tends to divert along conductive paths, such as telephone, electric or cable TV wiring or copper rain gutters or metal plumbing or even the foil on the wall insulation. The common scenario when lightning strikes a house is that the energy from the lightning strike travels along the conductive paths, like the house wiring, and find its way to the ground. Along the way it can damage appliances in the house that are plugged in at the time. This could include the electric bed. Many a TV and VCR have been damaged this way. They can be damaged even when the lightning strikes a thousand feet away from your house. As for whether you would be injured by being in the electric bed when the lightning strikes, only God would know. About 2 weeks ago a teenager was on the toilet bowl when the house was struck by lightning. He felt it but was unharmed.
How did the Farmers deal with their fear that government power would be abused?
The House of Representitives was formed. And still government power was abused.
Will your homeowners insurance be at risk for termination if the only claim in years is for a small house fire caused by lightning?
Probably not, but if you have an insurance company that employs jerks, you just can't tell. They would probably be much more tolerant of the first claim if you put up a lightning rod when you rebuild the house.
If neither the president nor vise president can serve the position would be filled by?
Speaker of the house?
Is a flash of lighting enough to light a house for a year?
No, a single flash of lightning is not enough to provide light for a house for a year. Lightning is a powerful electrical discharge that lasts only a fraction of a second and produces a very brief burst of light. To light a house for a year, you would need a consistent and reliable source of lighting, such as electric bulbs or solar panels.
