Question

Bathing outdoors should be avoided during a thunderstorm.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Explanation:

1. Water is a very good conductor of electricity, as we all know. Water's free ions make it an excellent conductor of electricity.
2. The mobility of free ions is increased because of the viscosity of the solution, and here that is water, allowing for a significant increase in conductivity.
3. Because pure water lacks free ions, it does not transmit electricity,
4. However, the mixture or impurity improves conductivity.
5. When lightning strikes, a thunderstorm may strike a building or a house. If someone is nearby with a wet body, it may become an excellent conductor of electricity, which is extremely dangerous for the person in that situation.
6. As a result, we should avoid bathing during thunderstorms.

Therefore, bathing outdoors should be avoided during a thunderstorm is true.
