Question

How does lightning conductor works

Answer 1

The lightning conductor provides a very low resistance path between the top of the lightning conductor rod via a substantial strip of metal to the ground so that the current as a result of a lightning strike does not flow through the building to which it is attached.

Answer 2

The basic principle a lightning conductor is to provide a direct and easy path for lightning to reach the ground. A lightning conductor is made up of materials of more conductive properties than a building. It has a metal plate too, which is deep underground.
