Question

14.4 If the materials used for constructing a building were good conductors:(b) Would a lightning conductor still be required for such a building? Explain.​

Answer 1

Building are not made of good conductors in order to provide safety to people who will reside in the building. Therefore, lightning conductor is necessary for a building to provide safety during thunderstorms.

But, if building are made of good conductors there would be no use of lightning conductor. Constructing a building with good conductor such as copper, iron or silver is very cost effective process.
