What is the purpose of a lightning arrester?
Lightning protection systems control electrical discharges by directing them through a low-resistance path to the ground, avoiding passage through parts of a structure and reducing risk of fire or other damage. Air terminals are fastened to the building to intercept electric discharges which might otherwise strike a building component itself, such as a chimney or metal roof. Electrical discharges striking the air terminal are directed through heavy duty metal conductors to a grounding system (rods driven into the soil) and thence into the earth.
What type of lightning appears as a broad illumination of parts of a thundercloud caused by the reflection of a lightning flash?
Sheet lightning
What are the body parts of kangaroo for protection?
Kangaroos have fur.
What is an electrical discharge between parts of clouds or a cloud and the ground is called what?
That's called 'lightning'.
What is an electrical discharge between parts of cloud or a cloud and the ground is called?
That's called 'lightning'.
How do lightning rod protect building from lightning?
The main way a lightning rod protects a building is by being higher than any other part of the building it maintains a cone of uncharged air over the building. This uncharged air cannot become charged when a thunderstorm passes over as the charges are continuously discharged through the ground wire from the rod to ground. As no charges can be built up within this cone, lightning cannot enter this cone to strike the building. The second way a lightning rod protects a building is that any lightning directly above the building can only strike the tip of the lightning rod itself. The current will then be forced to follow the ground wire from the rod to ground, bypassing the building. However as this current can be in the megaampere range it is necessary to have the complete lightning rod system inspected after any such strike to be sure that parts have not been melted and that the lightning rod is still protecting the building!
What are the 12 parts of the nacelle of a wind turbine?
The 12 parts of a wind turbine nacelle typically include the mainframe, gearbox, generator, yaw system, pitch system, brake system, cooling system, controller, sensors, transformer, lightning protection system, and access ladder. These components work together to convert wind energy into electrical power efficiently.

The organ system that provides support and protection for body parts is the endocrine system or circulatory system or skeletal system or respiratory system?
The skeletal system functions as both a rigid support structure to maintain the body's form as well as a protective structure for body parts such as the bones of the rib cage protecting the chest cavity, or the bones of the skull protecting the brain. Additionally, the skeletal system provides anchors without which the muscular system would be unable to produce movement, and contains bone marrow which is the site of the formation of new blood

What parts of the body are most vnlnerable to lightning damage?
I'm pretty sure all of them are at risk if you get struck by lightning ..
What is functional structure?
it is a framework of building theory that sees the society as a complex system who's parts are interdependent and works to gather to bring stability and harmony with in the society.
What are the parts of a space ship?
The main parts of a spaceship include the hull (outer structure), propulsion system (engines), guidance system (controls direction), life support system (provides air and water), communication system (for contacting Earth), and payload (equipment or cargo). Additional components can include solar panels for power, landing gear, and thermal protection.
What is a sudden energy discharge between parts of a cloud is called?
A sudden energy discharge between parts of a cloud is called lightning. Lightning is a natural electrical discharge produced in thunderstorms, typically accompanied by thunder, and can take on different forms such as cloud-to-ground or intracloud lightning.
Electrical discharge between parts of clouds or a cloud and the ground is called What?
Lightning.
How is a body like a building?
A body is like a building in several ways. Bones are like supporting columns of a building, giving ridigity and strength. The nervous system is like the electrical wiring, sending currents. The skin and other thermoregulating system parts are like the HVAC (Heating/Ventilaiton/Air Conditioning), it that they control the internal temperature.
