When lightning strikes, it heats up the surrounding air and creates a flow of electrical current. This current flows through the lightning bolt and can be harnessed as electricity if captured by a lightning rod, which can then be directed for use in powering electrical systems.
What else can I help you with?
Does lightning travel faster through air that is dry or through air that has lots more moisture?
Air is an insulator .......but still the lightning travels through it by ionising it.On the other hand water is a good conductor and ligthning finds path through it to reach the earth.Thus ligthning travels faster through air that has moisture than dry air.
Does water have electricity?
Water itself does not conduct electricity, but it can become a conductor if it contains impurities or ions. This is why pure water does not conduct electricity, but tap water or saltwater can.
How are current and static electricity related?
Current electricity is the flow of electrons through a conductor, while static electricity is the buildup of electric charge on an object. Both are manifestations of the fundamental force of electromagnetism. Static electricity can discharge to become current electricity under certain conditions.
Do balloons have electricity?
Balloons themselves do not generate electricity. However, they can become charged with static electricity when rubbed against certain materials or in certain environmental conditions. This static charge can cause the balloon to stick to surfaces or attract small objects.
When can heat and electricity become harmful?
Heat and electricity can become harmful when they are at excessively high levels, leading to burns, fires, or electrical shock. It is important to handle and use heat sources and electrical systems with caution to avoid accidents and injuries.
Why is ligthning is a example ofstatic electricity?
As it is caused by water particles rubbing against air particles
What are the benefits of ligthning?
Chublets!
How does lightning become electricity?
Lightning doesn't become electricity. Lightning already is electricity.
What is the scientific explanation of thunder and ligthning earthquake?
There is no relationship between thunder and lightning and earthquakes.
How hot is ligthning?
the air within a ligthning strike can heat up to 54,000 degrees ferenheit.to put that in perspective that is nearly 6 times hotter than the surface of the sun. the average flash will ligth a 100 watt bulb for more than 3 months.
When did electricity become available in Austria?
1970
When electrons move from one to another they become what with static electricity?
They become charges
When electrons move from one object to another they become with static electricity?
They become charges
When did electricity become available?
Around 1880-1890
Does lightning travel faster through air that is dry or through air that has lots more moisture?
Air is an insulator .......but still the lightning travels through it by ionising it.On the other hand water is a good conductor and ligthning finds path through it to reach the earth.Thus ligthning travels faster through air that has moisture than dry air.
Can all ligthning kill you?
Lightning can absolutely kill you. Say you are standing against a tree that gets struck, you have a chance of not making it.
Why has electricity become unstable?
Electricity became unstable when there is a defect on its power lines, or there is an interruption and less production from its source.
