Lightning Conductor is a device used to protect a building from the effect of lightning.
A lightning conductor is made up of thick strip of metal usually of copper. The top end of the lightning conductor is pointed like sharp spike and its fixed above the highest point of building.
From the top of the building the thick metal strip runs along the outer wall of the building to the ground.
The lower end of the metal strip is joined to metal plate and burred deep into ground near the base of the of our building.
if lightning strikes , it will hit the top of lightning conductor . The electrical energy passes through the metal strip and gets discharged safely into the ground through buried metal plate.Hence buildings are protected.
