Why is a thick copper strip is used in a lightning conductor?
Answers
Answer:
MARK ME AS A BRAINIEST
Explanation:
Copper wires are used as conductors because they allow the flow of electric current with minimum loss of energy. Usually, thick copper wires are chosen as lightning conductors because they primarily find their use in tall buildings. The cable is designed to be very thick to allow large current flow without melting

Answer:
For earthing, we need a good conductor of electricity.
Explanation:
★ Lighting is a powerful electric spark and a lot of electrical energy is produced by its occurrence.
→ so we use lighting conductors to gather the energy and transport it to the Earth (earthing) to avoid it the electrocution of our house/buildings
→ the material can be anything, but needs to be a good conductor of electricity
→ For example: thick copper wire...
as copper is a good conductor of electricity, the charge collected by the lighting conductor, the charge immediately goes down to the ground and saves us from lighting.
I hope it helps
