Question

What happens when two clouds with unlike charges approach each other?

Answer 1

Answer:

Lighting is caused

Explanation:

When the two clouds with unlike chargea approach each other a very heavy current passes through the air

Answer 2

When two clouds with unlike charges approach each other, lightning occurs.

• Lightning is a result of electric discharge taking place in the atmosphere.
• During a thunderstorm, the air current moves towards the upper direction as water droplets fall to the ground.
• This results in a separation of charges.
• Upperside of the clouds get accumulated with positive charges and lower side with negative charges.
• Similarly, the ground also gets accumulated with positive charges.
• Once the magnitude of these charges becomes very large, air cannot resist the flow of charges.
• The opposite (unlike) charges will begin to move towards each other and their collision produces sparks and sounds.
• These generated sparks and sounds are called lighting and thunder.
