wht is a lightning conductor
As answered previously by one of our experts...
Lightening conductor is the device which protects humans and more valuable things from lightening. To install a lightning conductor, a metal rod is fitted inside a building during construction. While one end of the conductor is buried inside the ground, the other end emerges out from the roof. The lightning conductor provides a path for heavy electric charge (present in lightning) to discharge to the ground, without causing any harm to the building as well as the inhabitants.
