if there was a way to utilize lightning what can be used as a load?
A load for lightning refers to any object or surface that can become charged during a lightning strike. This can include buildings, trees, power lines, and even people.
Lightning is attracted to objects with a higher concentration of positive charges, such as tall buildings or trees. It also tends to strike objects that are better conductors of electricity.
Yes, lightning can strike the same load multiple times. In fact, tall structures like the Empire State Building are often struck by lightning multiple times in a single storm.
Some common examples of load for lightning include metal objects, such as fences and flagpoles, as well as natural objects like trees and bodies of water.
To protect yourself from being a load for lightning, it is best to seek shelter indoors or in a car during a thunderstorm. If you are caught outside, avoid open areas and tall objects, and crouch down in a low-lying area.
