In Building, there are a host of protective devices that are installed to protect lives and properties, one of them is the Lightning Conductor that  a metal rod mounted on a structure and intended to protect the structure from a lightning strike. It works on the principle of induction

<h3>Principle of Operation of Lightning Conductor</h3>

The lightning conductor works on the principle of induction:

  • When a charged cloud passes by the building hosting the Lightning conductor, it gets a charge opposite to that of the cloud through the process of induction.
  • They are Typically made from copper material.

Most Lightening conductors are made from copper materials.

why does diving 30m below sea level affect our bodies more than being in a building 30m above sea level
Genrish500 [490]
Imagine you are in a swimming pool 30m deep. Assuming you know that water is denser than air, you would know that the 30m of water above you will carry more weight, and press down on your body. Say you were in a swimming pool 60m deep, you would be sandwiched between 30m of water pressing down on you, and the upthrust created by the 30m of water below you.

In a building 30m up, the pressure will be regulated, as you are in a building. The floor will be strong enough to support the weight of the body, and the body will not recoil into itself.
