Question

Wat is a lightning conductor ??? Explain...

Answer 1

it's helps the house or apartment to remain safe from lighting as it absorbs the electrons and transmits to the earth.

Answer 2

lightning conductor is a metal rod or metallic object mounted on top of an elevated structure, such as abuilding, a ship, or even a tree,electrically bondedusing a wire orelectrical conductor to interface withground or "earth"through anelectrode, engineered to protect the structure in the event of lightning strike. If lightning hits the structure, it will preferentially strike the rod and be conducted to ground through the wire, instead of passing through the structure, where it could start a fire or causeelectrocution. Lightning rods are also calledfinials, 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 conductivematerials, such ascopperandaluminum. Copper and itsalloysare the most common materials used in lightning protection.
