Answer:
A pit is dug in the ground and is filled with coal and salt. A cast iron plate placed upright in the pit and one end of the lightning conductor is connected to this plate. Also, a provision of pouring water into the pit is made. Thus, when the electric charge through the conductor is discharged into the pit, the water quickly spread these charges into the ground and prevents damage.
