The polarization of the charges both positive and negative that occurs in a storm cloud results in the strike of lightning. Two mechanisms trigger the polarization process. One is the frictional charging and the other is the freezing process.
Clouds that produce lightning have electrical energy. This energy is generated by the separation of positive and negative charges within a cloud, which results in the discharge of lightning as a way to balance these charges.
Lightning is created when positive charges (protons) in the clouds interact with negative charges on the ground, creating an electric field. When the electric field becomes strong enough, it causes a rapid discharge of electricity in the form of lightning. This discharge equalizes the charges between the clouds and the ground.
Lightning is an example of static electricity
No. Fire is a combination of chemical and physical changes in which substances interact to release heat, light, smoke and ash. Lightning occurs when the negative charges (electrons) in the bottom of the cloud are attracted to the positive charges (protons) in the ground. In some instances, fire can be created by lightning.
The lightning happens because of the pressure of the clouds and it the lightning comes out from the clouds naturally.... (lightning are dangerous so don't try to go up and see if it is right or wrong
Positively charged particles in a storm cloud float near the top, while negatively charged particles stay near the bottom. If the negatively charged particles clump up too much, they 'jump' somewhere else, to help spread out again. This results in lightning from the attracted particles.
Lightning happens when the negative charges (electrons) in the bottom of the cloud are attracted to the positive charges (protons) in the ground.
When positive charges go to negative charges in a cloud
Lightning forms when positive and negative charges build up in a cloud. The negative charges at the bottom of the cloud attract positive charges on the ground, creating a path for lightning to strike from the ground up.
Lightning forms when positive and negative charges in a cloud separate and create an electric field. When the electric field becomes strong enough, it causes a sudden discharge of electricity in the form of lightning. Lightning strikes the ground when the negative charges in the cloud are attracted to the positive charges on the ground, creating a path for the lightning bolt to travel.
Electrostatic force, also known as electrostatic interaction, binds atoms and molecules by attracting unlike charges (opposite charges) and repulsing like charges (similar charges). This force is a fundamental component of interactions such as ionic bonding and van der Waals forces.
Yes. Although the development of these charges is still mostly understood, the buildup of opposite charges in the clouds can create a discharge (lightning) between the cloud and the ground, or the cloud and another cloud. Sometimes the distribution of charges can be seen in a dendritic (forked) pattern of lightning bolts. (see related link)
Positive charges attract negative charges and repel other positive charges. Negative charges do the opposite, attracting positive charges and repelling other negative charges. Like charges repel and opposite charges attract.
Lightning
Clouds that produce lightning have electrical energy. This energy is generated by the separation of positive and negative charges within a cloud, which results in the discharge of lightning as a way to balance these charges.
Lightning occurs during thunderstorms because of the buildup of electrical charges in the atmosphere. When these charges become strong enough, they are released as a bolt of lightning, which heats the air and creates the sound we hear as thunder.
