Answer:

Explanation:

When a negatively charged cloud passes over a high-rise building, it induces positive

charges on the top of the building and negative charges at its base due to electric induction.

As the positive charges attract negative charges, the free electrons from cloud start pushing

their way through moist air. This forms a sort of conducting path. When these electrons

reach the building, suddenly all the charges in cloud flow into the building. Thus an electric

discharge passes through the building which is called lightning. The lightning strikes the

building with a devastating effect and sets the building on fire.
