Lightning is an example of___.
static charging
charging by conduction
charging by induction
static discharge
Lightning occurs because of static discharge from clouds. Two oppositely charged clouds interact with each other to produce the discharge.
In static electricity the charges remain at rest,then why does lightning involves static electricity ,though in this case there is a movement of charges??
The tremendous electric charges in the atmosphere which produce sheet lightning in the clouds are produced by the process of :
(a) friction (b) induction (c) conduction (d) convection
