6. During lightning, we can have an electric discharge-
(a) only between two opposite charged clouds.
(b) only between a charged cloud and the ground.
(c) either between two opposite charged clouds or between a charged cloud
and the ground.
(d) neither between two opposite charged clouds nor between a charged cloud
and the ground.
Answers
Answer:
a) only between two opposite charged clouds.
Explanation:
Lightning is an electric current. Within a thundercloud way up in the sky, many small bits of ice (frozen raindrops) bump into each other as they move around in the air. All of those collisions create an electric charge. After a while, the whole cloud fills up with electrical charges. The positive charges or protons form at the top of the cloud and the negative charges or electrons form at the bottom of the cloud. Since opposites attract, that causes a positive charge to build up on the ground beneath the cloud. The grounds electrical charge concentrates around anything that sticks up, such as mountains, people, or single trees. The charge coming up from these points eventually connects with a charge reaching down from the clouds and lightning strikes.
Therefore, Lightning is caused due to discharge of oppositely charged clouds.
