hello how does lighting conductor protect a tall building name the scientist who invented the lighting conductor
Answers
A lightning conductor is a metal rod mounted on a structure and intended to protect the structure from a lightning strike. If lightning hits the structure, it will preferentially strike the rod and be conducted to ground through a wire, instead of passing through the structure, where it could start a fire or cause electrocution. Lightning rods are also called finials, air terminals or strike termination devices.
In a lightning protection system, a lightning rod is a single component of the system. The lightning rod requires a connection to earth to perform its protective function. Lightning rods come in many different forms, including hollow, solid, pointed, rounded, flat strips or even bristle brush-like. The main attribute common to all lightning rods is that they are all made of conductive materials, such as copper and aluminum. Copper and its alloysare the most common materials used in lightning protection.
it was invented by by Benjamin Franklin in Pennsylvania....

Lighting rod and the attached cable and ground pole provide a low resistance pathway from the region above the building to the ground below. By diverting the charge through lighting protection system, the building is spared of the damage associated with a large quantity of electric charge passing through it.
It was invented by Benjamin Franklin,USA scientist in 1749 as a part of his ground-breaking exploration of electricity.
Hope it helps
