Answer 2

A very small amount of current flows when lightning strikes the ground is a FALSE statement.

LIGHTNING:

• It is the electrostatic discharge caused due to imbalance in charges between clouds and the ground.
• When lightning strikes, it carries a huge amount of electric current of approximately 30 kilos Ampere.

• On striking, it transfers 15 coulombs of the charge and 1 gigajoules of energy to the surface.
• This current can change dirt and clay to silica and water to steam when passes through a tree trunk.
