The shape of the top end of a lightning conductor is spike.

Explanation:

  • Spike refer to sharp end.
  • Lightning conductors are conducting rod that runs through the building. The lower end of the rod is fixed on earth and upper end is placed on the roof of the building.
  • When the clouds move above the building, discharges are easily moved to the lightening conductor.
  • The lightning conductor with less radius is more effective than lightning conductor with more radius.
  • The less radius increases the electric field of the lightning conductor.
