Question

What is a Lightning Conductor? Write its Uses.

Answer 1

Definition

A lightning conductor is a thick copper wire as well as a strip tied towards the maximum height of a structure to a lengthy copper earth pole hammering down into the ground somewhere at the building's side.

Uses of lightning conductor

1. It protects structures against lightning strikes by allowing the electricity to go to the ground instead of through the building.
2. This same current in the conductor is so high that it melts or vaporizes the metal, however, the harm to the building would be minimal.
