Answer:
Explanation:
Lightning rods are pointed so a charge will be concentrated at the end. If the rod had a round end the charges would spread equally around its surface.
As long as the air is prevented from ionizing it won't conduct the lightning bolt. The purpose of the rod is to prevent ionization by discharging the ions in the air.
