History

Answer 2

Lightning Rod

• A lightning rod, also known as a lightning conductor, is a metal rod used to protect a structure against lightning strikes.
• If lightning hits the building, it will strike on the rod and be brought to the ground by a wire, rather than striking the structure itself, which could result in a fire.
• Copper and copper alloys are the most commonly used materials in lightning protection.
