Question
What is a lightning conductor? How does it protect a high-rise building?
✓
Answer
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. Lightning rods are installed on the highest points of the building and act as receptors, intercepting the lightning strikes.
