suddenly induces high voltage in the transmission line because the charge carrier in the transmission is positive and the charge present in the lightning storm is negative so if colloid both increases its field and voltage
when two or more clouds rub they produce friction this leads to lightning which produce light , sound and heat .

How did Thomas Edison propose to his wife?
He lightened up her life with the question "Will you marry me?" under a tree during a lightning storm.
Precautions to take after a lightning storm?
There are many precautions you can take after a lightening storm. You could go out and seek immediate shelter for example.
Why does the electricity go out when it is storming?
Storm related electrical outages may occur for a variety of reasons, most of which are caused by lightning strikes, fallen trees, or weather related damage to the components of the electrical system. If a major storm produces severe flooding, the local electrical power may be turned off to prevent accidental electrocution and to prevent damage to the main electrical grid infrastructure.
How a lightning can affect a optical isolated RS 485 bus?
Because of the very high voltage of lightning, an opto isolator can't block it, the best is to relay any lightning to ground but that is still not a guarantee that the spike will be stopped. Lightning voltage is in the Giga Volt range.
Do lightning rods repel or attract lightning?
Lightning rods are used to direct the force of the strike safely as possible and in a direct line as possible to ground. This direct path usually saves surrounding structures from damage.
What happens during a lightening storm?
Thunder and lightning
Is a tent safe during a lightning storm?
No, a tent is not safe during a lightning storm as it does not provide adequate protection from lightning strikes. It is recommended to seek shelter in a sturdy building or a designated lightning-safe structure during a storm.
Is it safe to sit in a car during a lightning storm?
No, it is not safe to sit in a car during a lightning storm as the metal frame of the car can conduct electricity and put you at risk of being struck by lightning. It is safer to stay indoors during a lightning storm.
Can you swim during a lightning storm in an outdoor pool?
It's not safe to be in or around a body of water during a lightning storm.
What happens to the electrons in the clouds and on the ground during a lightning storm?
During a lightning storm, electrons move across the clouds and ground to create an electrical discharge. These electrons flow in a path of least resistance, causing a powerful electrical current. This movement of electrons is what generates lightning.
Is a car safe during a lightning storm?
No, a car is generally safe during a lightning storm due to its metal frame that acts as a Faraday cage, protecting occupants from lightning strikes.
Is astro turf safe during a lightning storm?
Artificial turf itself is not conductive, so it is generally safe to be on during a lightning storm. However, it is still advisable to seek shelter indoors during a lightning storm to avoid any potential risks.
How can I protect my electronics during a storm with lots of lightning?
To protect your electronics during a storm with lots of lightning, unplug them from the power source and use surge protectors. Avoid using electronics during the storm and consider investing in a lightning rod for added protection.
Is biking safe in lightning storm?
No, biking is not particularly safe during a lightning storm. It isn't quite as risky as golfing.
Is it safe to be in a tent during a lightning storm?
No, it is not safe to be in a tent during a lightning storm. Tents do not provide sufficient protection from lightning strikes, and being inside one can put you at risk of injury or death. It is recommended to seek shelter in a sturdy building or a designated lightning-safe area during a storm.
What can we do to avoid being struck by lightning?
Stay indoors during a lightning storm.
Why is it unsafe to be at the beach during a lightning storm?
because you may get shocked by lightning...or DIE!
