how earth discharges electrons
Answers
Explanation:
Atmospheric electricity is the study of electrical charges in the Earth's atmosphere (or that of another planet). The movement of charge between the Earth's surface, the atmosphere, and the ionosphere is known as the global atmospheric electrical circuit. Atmospheric electricity is an interdisciplinary topic with a long history, involving concepts from electrostatics, atmospheric physics, meteorology and Earth science.
Answer:
The negatively charged air induces a positive charge in the ground or nearby area. It can be dangerous for an electric discharge to occur. ... The rod is attached to a conductive wire that leads to the ground. So, when the lightning strikes the rod, the electrons flow into the ground (rather than into the building).
